2. THE PROTOTYPE 

Valdora is an 0-4-0 diesel locomotive 
manufactured in Sydney by E.M. Baldwin 
in 1965 as serial number 6/1258.1. 

The locomotive worked its life at the 
Moreton Sugar Mill in Nambour, 
Queensland, Australia. It was often 
coupled to its sister locomotive, 
Maroochy and operated back-to-back 
from one cab using multiple unit 
controls. 

Valdora weighs 8 tons and has a diesel 
mechanical transmission. She was 
modified several times, the addition of 
an enclosed cab being the most 
significant. 

The kit depicts Valdora as she is today running on the tourist railway in Bundaberg, Queensland.
