Project announcement: Gopher Models RTR NSWGR 45 class N scale locomotive

[Gremlin]

Gopher Models are proud to announce a Ready-To-Run (RTR) NSWGR 45 class in N scale.

Once again, crowd-funding using Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1560185090/rtr-n-scale-nswgr-45-class-locomotive-60-days) is being sought to produce this model.  If the funding goal is reached, then the production process in China will commence and it is expected that the models will be delivered in 18-24 months after the funding goal is met. This project will produce an exceptionally high-quality, injection moulded RTR model.  It will not be a rapid 3D prototype or a 3D printed model.

Gopher Models are produced by BadgerBits who have an enviable track record of producing quality Australian N scale locomotives and rolling stock.  The Gopher 48 class (Alco DL531 export model) has been an outstanding success and is indicative of the quality that can be expected from the 45 class.

The 45 class has been in design stage for a long time and is now ready for production; all it requires is YOUR funding to make it happen.

The project will only have 60 days in which to pledge money for the project.  If the funding goal isn't met within the 60 days, the project will NOT go ahead AND nobody will have money debited.  If the funding goal is met, then money will be debited and the model will be delivered according to schedule."

ONLY 200 PLEDGES ARE REQUIRED TO ENSURE THIS MODEL IS PRODUCED

Is anyone interested in modelling "different" US locomotives?

The 45 class is practically identical to the ALCO MRS-1.  The ALCO MRS-1 is a type of diesel-electric locomotive built by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) for the United States Army Transportation Corps (USATC). They were built with multigauge trucks and to a reduced loading gauge for service anywhere in the world in the event of war. For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALCO_MRS-1
