Southern Rail have been manufacturing detailed and quality HO scale model railway replicas for serious railway modellers and collectors since 2011. They specialise in modelling diesel and steam locomotives, rolling stock, trackside buildings and rail accessories for all the Australian States and their various railways.

The Western Australian Government Railways L-Class were designed as an Australian version of the US SD40 model. They emerged from the Clyde Engineering plant at Sydney between 1967 and 1969. 23 were initially built, followed by an extra two for Western Mining in 1973. In 1972, two similar locos were built for Comalco’s railway at Weipa on Cape York Peninsula. These were not fitted with dynamic brakes, and weighed 148 tonnes. The WAGR fleet were purchased to operate the new standard gauge railway from Perth to Kalgoorlie, which replaced the narrow gauge route in 1970.


Today, the L-Class operate industrial and general freight traffic in WA, with three operating in NSW for grain traffic. They are prefixed L, LQ (QTRAC traction control) or LZ (ZTR traction control).


This version of the L class diesel loco has the designation L253 and is in the WESTRAIL orange, blue band and white pin stripe livery with a radio flash insignia. It is DCC ready and has the pins installed for the Southern Rail "Sounds of Power" sound module. The loco is ready to run and features a 5 pole skew-wound motor with twin brass flywheels, all wheel drive, all wheel pick up, metal chassis and it has a super detailed underframe and body. The detail and finish of this loco is stunning and with it's 5 pole motor and all wheel drive it runs beautifully on either an analogue or digital system. If your model railway is set in the diesel era of railways then one of these loco's is a must for your layout.
