I was involved in the manufacture of the first Diesel Electric Locomotives in Rhodesia, the 1500 Class. This was a huge undertaking. The engines and electrics were imported, (breaking sanctions) the mainframes and all ancillary equipment were made in Rhodesia. I would be happy to give you more details if you so wish.Rhodesia Rememberedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06644511584084003690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136959581834392797.post-34232300908176162402013-06-07T09:45:37.849+02:002013-06-07T09:45:37.849+02:00Mike Hamence (RhAF) Writes:-
