Why this kit matters

The AD60 Class Garratt was one of Australia’s largest and most powerful steam locomotives, introduced in the 1950s to handle heavy freight on challenging routes. Its articulated design allowed it to navigate curves and gradients that would challenge conventional locomotives.

This HO scale model allows modellers to include a historically significant locomotive on their layouts, increasing operational interest with long freight trains and adding variety to their collection of rolling stock. It reflects an important era in Australian rail history and supports dynamic train operations on HO scale layouts.

How to use it

Place the Garratt locomotive on HO gauge track and couple with compatible freight wagons. No assembly, paint, or glue is required. Ensure the track is clean for smooth operation.

This is a plastic model kit. Ready-to-run. Paint/glue not required.
