Why this kit matters

The AD60 Class Garratt was one of the largest and most powerful steam locomotives ever built, operating in New South Wales, Australia. Introduced in 1952, these articulated locomotives were essential for handling heavy freight loads on steep gradients, becoming a symbol of Australian railway engineering prowess. The Garratt design, with its two sets of driving wheels and boilers, allowed for immense power and adhesion.

This specific livery, featuring the "ACT/City of Canberra" herald, highlights the locomotive's connection to Australia's capital territory, adding a unique historical and geographical dimension to the model. It represents a distinguished period in the operational life of these magnificent machines.
