Hi

there`s another Marc outside in Germany....
enjoy the pic

hello
try this site

http://www.ontrackplant.com/thumbs.php?class=p_0716

this is a british site wich shows the european construction of the bachmann model with buffer.
I guess, the "american" version of the model is only removed the buffer, fits with knuckle coupler.
Cause on the us site from plasser there is no model shown

hello,
so all joy of the model will gone at me, when it will be a standart model.
So perhaps it is better, to do further works on a american GK model.
It is not cheap to re-power the engine, but when you put in a sd75genesis drive unit, it is a very smooth runner. Then some additional things like cab interior, lighting, sommerfeld panthos, i will be a good loco, and for the age of the model well detailed.

hello,

as i whrote, all constructions, that are not spectrum standart will be a joke for this engine.
I guess, it will be made in the way like the HHp8 or the E33. if this will be, so i can order at minimum 8-10 engines.....to increase the fleet

Hello,
i hope, the engines will made in the way like the E33 or the HHP8.
All other (cheaper) construction will be a joke .....

hello
yes, we oftes discussed about electric locos, but they are not announced. There are so many e-locos/train-sets, bachmann made in the past, but no chance, to made those (e60-metroliner etc...). I guess, the circle of persons is to small......who really built (working )
but so i wonder, why the e-33 and the hippo was done in a good quality.......
For our layout we need all those locos, they run on the  NEC....
and not only one from each model...

hello

...would be a treacherous task to recreate the traffic levels of the NEC in HO?

i don`t know, if it is, but it is difficult enough, to do the soldering for the correct catenary and poles. You need lots of tracks, when you want to create a 4track runway....typical for the NEC.
And you need lots of engines (we own at the moment 10 bli gg1; 11 bachmann e33......)to create the traffic (remember, on the NEC runs every 2minutes a train...).
We startet with a "static" layout (the wilmington facilities), then we grow up and now we have about 20meters NEC and a little NT transit with the corrct poles and catenary and now we add 4,5 meters streetrunning......).
