Why this kit matters
The AD60 Class Garratt was the largest steam locomotive to operate in Australia. Built by Beyer, Peacock & Company, these powerful articulated locomotives hauled coal, freight, and banking services across New South Wales. No. 6036 is especially notable as one of the preserved survivors of this iconic class.
How to use it
Place the locomotive on standard HO gauge track and operate using a compatible DC controller. The articulated design allows it to negotiate curves while maintaining impressive pulling power for long freight consists.
This is a detailed scale model intended for collectors and railway hobby use, not a toy.
