HLM - Perstorp loco

This article was published Apr 12, 2024.

The Perstorp loco, or the "banana" as it was famously called at Ohsabanan (since it´s colour and shape), did came to Ohsabanan railway back in 1973. At the moment it is awaiting renovation, but since it has been stored outside most of the time, it is questionable if it will run again .. Still, a real odd creation for its purpose to pull really small wagons. Haven´t been able to find why it was this big with bogies. It was once propelled with two Ford 6-cylinder car engines. When it arrived at Ohsabanan only one engine was working and mostly used for work trains.

The model is made for 1:35 scale, but can of course be adjusted for other scales. Tenshodo or equal motor bogies is recommended.

Uploaded to WinterZone and will soon be available for order.
