Model Trains and Things

Commonwealth Engineering - also known as Comeng was once a major manufacturer of railway locos, rollingstock and equipment here in Australia. Sadly it faded away during the 1970s and after it’s demise a mate … who was an engineer there … gave me a copy of their catalogue.

The company was long gone, there appears to be no copyright on the catalogue and so a couple of years ago I started to scan photos and drawings from the book and post them on another of my websites. I didn’t get very far with the project before I misplaced the book and everything came to a grinding halt.

However I discovered the book this morning as I started packing up my office for yet another move and now the project is back on track. Today I posted images and details of the WAGR B class diesel hydraulic locomotive that Comeng built back in the 1960s. Follow the link and you’ll get the big picture, the line drawing and the technical details of this interesting little locomotive.
