c.1947 K Class (N184) branch line Steam Locomotive (240x40x55mm) built post WWII at the Newport Workshops, black livery, 2-8-0 wheel configuration, with rolling stock comprising five goods carriages and a Z guard carriage at the back, total size 840x40x55mm.(8 items) [The K class locomotive proved to be a remarkably versatile model and outlasted every other class of steam locomotive in regular service with Victorian Railways, with 21 examples of the 53 originally built surviving into preservation, including this example.] Frank Kelly adopted 4mm scale with 20mm gauge track because the motors that were available at the time were a little large to fit into HO scale models of Australian prototype locomotives. He continued to model in this scale until he finished his last locomotive. All his scratch-built models offered in this auction are in 4mm scale.
