HO Gauge - Scale 87:1 - Lima

Lima 'HO' D6524

Lima, produced Class 33s for a short time in the 1970s. Unfortunately they caved in to the OO lobby, and the model was replaced with an OO version.

Early models had continental style loop and hook couplers, later ones had OO style couplings.

O Gauge - Scale 43:1 - Lima

Lima have made Class 33s in O gauge since 1977. The liveries carried were BR Green as D6506, BR Blue as D6524, and Railfreight Construction 33050. Unfortunately the bogie is completely inaccurate.

The picture below shows what can be achieved. It belongs to Michael F. Plunkett, and was converted from a Lima O gauge D6506 by his nephew. It has a new motor, gears, bogies and other detailing.
