<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Sorry Colin. Missunderstanding!
kewrail seemed to imply that the first image was an EM2 with the reference to the Tri-ang model of the 1960's. This had a Co-Co arrangement.
If you look closely at the bogies it has only 2 axles with a Bo-Bo arrangement and the model is an EM1 as used on the Woodside line. Hit the link below for more
info:-
Class 76
The EM1 was a smaller brother of the EM2 and was several feet shorter.
This has never been modelled by any ready to run manufacturer although I do believe there is kit available but I am not sure of the source. If anybody knows of any kits or resin bodies for any of the above then please include the information here.
Happy modelling
Gary
To bring this up to date, there is a brass kit in OO as well as O gauge being produced by a Cambridgeshire company, MSL Hobbies Ltd. JLTRT (Pete Waterman has just bought the 'O' gauge side). MSL Hobbies do a bespoke building service. I am awaiting the completion of an EM2, due soon. They also do EM1 models (Tommies)
