Swedish State Railways (SJ) liveries for DH4? and maybe other locos?

[granite pulsar]

here are some examples of the liveries that SJ had on their diesels

[strange scaffold]

That a T43 and T44 my dear friend. Theses are diesel-electric. Not that I don’t want these in DV but I’d rather want a full version than a skin.

[uneven trellis]

true

tho it would be nice for the dh4 to have the liveries as a temporary fix whilst we wait for someone to make them

[strange scaffold]

What is that small shunter on the last 2 pictures.

[uneven trellis]

it would be nice to drive around

[normal bison]

Oh yes yes yes please!!!

How about somethin like this?

This is noice livery ngl

[uneven trellis]

indeed

[uneven trellis]

looks to be a Z65

broom not included

[granite pulsar]

This specific one is narrow gauge, but there is a larger standard gauge version. This is the Z4p, the p identifying it as narrow gauge. The standard gauge version is known as the Z4 and even Z43

[granite pulsar]

True, id also like a full model of the two. I was just considering the fact that its possibly easier doing skins than a full model, but id be very happy if someone is willing to do models.

[normal bison]

Yea it’s narrow gauge but the livery is just… great

[strange scaffold]

The SJ livery is just great

This is my favourite.

It seem that the 244 had a small accident before finding its way to Canada.

[granite pulsar]

I definetaly agree, the brownish red colour is one of the nicest liveries used by SJ, that also includes the orange and white striped livery that the Ra and Rc class locos had originally.

[uneven trellis]

agreed

the 4th picture looks so adorable, i want one 😍

[normal bison]

Mhm and i personally got to ride in this loco the whole trip as a guest

(Lucky me)

[granite pulsar]

cool. i havent got to go in one (yet), but as i live in sweden, i get to see a T43 every other day

[granite pulsar]

found another angle of the incident

[strange scaffold]

I never found any documents relating the accident.

Not sure when this happened.

[granite pulsar]

this happened in Västervik, 12 Oktober 1971, and evidently, it destroyed the buffer stop. thats as much info i could find.

I Work for Lennakatten so Ye ;)

[granite pulsar]

Ah, ok. I happen to work at a narrow gauge heritage railway aswell. I work at Östra Södermanlands Järnväg (ÖSlJ), which i assume you are familiar with?

[normal bison]

I think so, what kind of locomotives do you have?

Oh shit I remember you have a shit ton lot

(Can we have one ;)

[granite pulsar]

Lol, I think we would like to keep our collection complete, besides, think it would be difficult to run our engines at Lennakatten as our track gauge is narrower than 891mm (600mm).

[normal bison]

OOOH

shit i havent been there

(Ive only worked twice at lennakatten so far XD)

[granite pulsar]

Ah, alright. I reccomend visiting. We have our main station in Mariefred, and if i remember correctly, the uppsala to eskilstuna train stops near one of our stations (Läggesta).

[normal bison]

Oh

So how long far away in car is it from Uppsala?

[granite pulsar]

According to google maps. 106km, with an hour and 26 minute travel time

[normal bison]

Oh, that’s not far at all

I might actually need to go there then

[verbal epoch]

It would be nice to have a Z65 as it’s an diesel hydraulic shunter. It would complement the DE2 nicely

I posted a "Swedish Liveries" skins mod on Nexus in late July 2023, that was before finding this thread.

[strange scaffold]
