I actually think that's cool, Ken. I think the angles make it look better than most European diesels and electrics.

Ken,
I like it. What country is the real thing based in? Who made the model?
I am not a fan of the exposed wheels though. Reminds me of the Amtrak cars with the same set up.
Thanks for sharing.
Mike

| A Hornby Hydraulic - how handsome! Only because it's in maroon which suits Westerns more than BR Blue I say. Looks in great condition. What type of coaches and in which livery should it pull, ken?
