Quoted TextAfter a long search for a engine, the cheapest i could find in the region of 100 euros was on the jordi rubio site suggested by jimbrae - thanks.
Which one would you go for though
Locomotora BR 60 Alemana
or
Locomotora diesel WR 360 C14
or finally
Locomotora vic 75 Alemana
According to military modelling the last engine is recognised as being the work horse of the wehrmacht bahn.
Im torn for either the first or maybe the second choice. Which one would you choose?
That first one looks killer like it would be a mover of the K5 or ammo (++)
The first locomotive is a normal locomotive with armoured plating which was used mainly for passenger trains. The second one was a shunting locomotive used intensively for shunting and to transport freighttrains over short distances. The third engine was used for all sorts of duties but was originally designed for passenger transport.
You can tell the the difference between a passenger and a freight engine by the size of the main (drive) wheels. Engines which were designed for passenger have big wheels, for speed. Engines for freight have (more) small wheels for more traction.
If you really want a freight engine the BR 50 (BauReihe 50) is a great choice. It is made by CMK in resin but costs a fortune. But rumor has it that Dragon will release one for the end of the year. !!!!! :-)
cheers,
Marc
