A little diversion into NZR

Yes. One of 5 BELs built to a US design for NZR in the 1920's. Some were later rebuilt as diesel electric in the 1950's and they lasted until the 1970's

Marc,

Plans I prepared of this loco appeared in the "NZ Model Railway Journal" a few years ago.

Plans for the later diesel-electric conversion followed in a later issue (not sure which). If you have joined the NZ Model Railway Guild, you can access archived copies.
