MR 20 Class

First main line diesel-electric locomotive which made its debut in Malaya in 1957. A total of twenty-six locomotives were manufactured by English Electric Co at Vulcan Foundry, United Kingdom. In its roughly thirty years of service, the 20 Class hauled both the passenger express and freight between Singapore and Malaysia. All twenty-six 20 Class locomotives were named after flowers. The last 20 Class was decommissioned in the early 1990s.

 

This MR 20 Class model is controlled by a PFx Brick, powered by 1x PF L-motor with lights (2x headlights and 4x side lights) and sounds.

 

The toughest part hands down was the decals.. more specifically the lettering on the side which is 'Malayan Railways' in Bahasa Melayu. My decal shop had each letter made separately which means I had to meticulously place them along the body. The nose stripes were finicky to handle but sticks on perfectly.

 

With all these models completed, I thought it would be a good time to have a 'photoshoot'. Taken after the Singapore Brickfest 2021.
