Wuiske Models RTR030 1550 Class Locomotive Driver Only Blue Livery #1558D (1989-1998) HOn3½ Scale

The 1550 class is the FIRST EVER mass produced RTR locomotive for Queensland modellers. These fine models have been developed over an extensive period and designed to give you many years of operating pleasure.
The 1550 class was built by Clyde Engineering in Queensland and were designed as a general-purpose version of the popular 2100 class coal hauling locomotives. They were fitted with a 12 Cylinder version of the tried and tested 645 power plant and were rated exactly the same as the 1502 class.
The first 6 units, 1550-1555 were introduced in 1972. A further 10 units (1556-1565) entered service in 1975 whilst units 1566-1576 were delivered soon after.
The last six units were used exclusively in Goonyella Coal Traffic up until the late 1980s, for use in shunting and infrastructure trains.
