1950s A1A-A1A diesel locomotive of Sierra Leone
Cape gauge, rated at 1,000 hp. If it looks a bit like the Australian Commonwealth Railways' NSU class (see earlier posts) it's because it was built by the same people: the Birmingham Railway Carriage & Wagon Company of England.

Still with the bullet nose streamlining which was removed in the late 1940s. The train will be an Opua Express. See earlier posts, and of course, our books for much more.
