Well. This was no small task, every aspect of this locomotive was a nightmare but at the same time a fun challenge. I built this in response to @CodingToTheMaximum loco request from coming second in my train building challenge. Unfortunately this loco isn't as detailed as I'd love it to be, I'm just far to pressed for time to add anymore. There are so many things that need to be fixed it's not funny. -Mouse over bottom right of the screen for controls
The South African Railways Class 31-000 of 1958 was a diesel-electric locomotive. In June and July 1958, the South African Railways placed forty-five Class 1-DE General Electric type U12B diesel-electric locomotives in service. They were later reclassified to Class 31-000 and renumbered. The South African Class 31-000 type GE U12B diesel-electric locomotive was designed for the South African Railways (SAR) and built by General Electric in 1958. They were the first diesel-electric road locomotives to enter SAR service in quantity. The locomotives were delivered in a livery that displayed the colours of the South African flag, white on the upper half and blue on the lower half, separated by an orange stripe on the sides and orange whiskers on the ends. They had black running boards, red buffer beams and black cowcatchers. From 1960 this livery gradually began to be replaced by Gulf Red with yellow stripes.
