Hi guys,
Over here in South Africa, a bunch of us have just started a scale we call lovingly Cape Gauge 1. It is concentrated around our SAR, later Spoornet and now Transnet Freight Rail rolling stock. We run on 45mm gauge and therefore our models are 1/24 scale. As our track width is 3ft 6" in real life.
For many many years the backbone of our railroad, was indeed the venerable Class 34 diesels. Both in GM and GE variants. The first model we made was indeed the GM version, build code GT26MC. I fit ESU sound to them, dynamic smoke and so forth. In the attached picture you can see the difference in size compared to 1/32 Gauge 1 German outline stuff.
Over in England we have a gentleman by the name of Andrew Giffen, who is taking care of the steam side of things. We have the first 15F type steamer shipping within the next week or so. With another coming to me and also a GMAM Garratt that he is just starting. Should have that here by June 2020
