G'day All,
The Victorian railways version of the G8/12 is known as the FIRST SERIES 'T' class. A brief summary can be found at:

In N scale there is a brass etch kit at:

under the heading: 1st Series T class Loco (unassembled, unpainted), which requires an Atlas VO-1000 mechanism.
Aust-N-Rail had a limited run ready to run `flat roofed' T as they became known, about 4 years ago, or so. See:

The various state government owned railway systems in Australia ordered both export and modified/custom models of diesel locomotives from English and U.S (EMD, ALCO, GE) manufacturers. Therefore we have a significant variety of diesel types. Many of these are now making it into injection molded production with DCC etc in HO and kits and limited runs in N Scale. The `traditional' paint scheme of `Victorian Railways' is based on the Erie blue and gold scheme.


   

So if you want to cause a stir, buy a VR paint scheme loco, replace the VR in the middle of the `wings' with ERIE, and run it in the middle or lead of a consist at a train show!!!!!

Regards,
