SDS MODELS HO QR 1502 CLASS LOCOMOTIVE #1510 QR CORPORATE LIVERY LATE 1990S

Entering service as the 1502 class. Clyde Engineering supplied 29 units between late 1967 and mid 1969. These units were numbered from 1502 to 1530, they were fitted with a more powerful EMD V12-645E engine. All were delivered in the QR blue/ light grey / dark grey colour scheme. External appearances were virtually the same as the 1460 class however the 1502 class engine exhaust was now a rectangular box style muffler with three circular outlets as opposed the more traditional EMD style of twin circular exhausts for the 1460s. The increased power of these units made them more suitable for passenger train working. In the late 1990s six units were repainted into the new corporate QR colours of yellow and red, these units were 1503, 1510, 1520, 1523 and 1526. In the 2000s six units were rebuilt with Maxi Cabs and transferred onto Standard Gauge for use with QR subsidiary Interail Australia. In 2006/7 another QR subsidiary ARG transferred 2 units to WA, and by the late 2000s 15 units had been sold to FCAB in Chile.
