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.
