3813: A Celebrated Star of Australia's Railway Milestones

On 22 August 1970, locomotives 3801 and 3813 departed Sydney on the "Western Endeavour" train, marking the celebration of the newly completed trans-continental standard-gauge railway. 3813 assisted 3801 as far as Port Augusta, while 3801 continued on to Perth with the Western Endeavour.

A highlight of 3813's service career occurred in 1955 when it was selected for the NSWGR Centenary Exhibition at Central Station. Alongside other notable exhibits such as 1243, 1948, 3264, and 5805, as well as NSWGR No.1 from the Museum of Applied Arts & Sciences, 3813 was displayed prominently. It was positioned with its driving wheels slightly lifted above the rails, rotating under the power of an electric motor, captivating visitors with a dynamic demonstration of its engineering prowess.

3813 is the only locomotive produced at Cardiff that was not scrapped, though it was dismantled and never reassembled. It is currently at the Dorrigo Steam Railway and Museum, awaiting its reassembly and a hopeful return to its former glory

The EH200 series is a two-car DC electric locomotive that began operation in 2001 with a prototype model and mass-produced model in 2003. It has been nicknamed "ECO-POWER Blue Thunder" due to its blue-based body paint, and the logo is placed on the body. It is mainly used on the Chuo Main Line, Shinonoi Line, Shinetsu Main Line, and Joetsu Line, where the EF64 series was used.

Arguably the first of the streamliners, and Australian built mainline locomotives. The SAR 900 class diesel-electric locomotive were designed and built in-house by the South Australia Railways, they used English Electric V16 engines. English Electric also supplied the generators and traction motors.

The 10 units were delivered between 1951 and 1953, all were out-of-service by mid 1985.

900 Lady Norrie is preserved by the National Rail Museum, she also ventured across into Victoria to appear at Spencer Street station for the Aus Steam 88 festival. 907 and 909 were operated by SteamRanger tourist railway until 1995.

We have produced 4 body variants for the 900 class:
