Zeuke-TT, what's new?

I wish I was more of a “train nerd”.

You don't have to be...Google is your train nerd (and mine too).

Thank you very much! I am happy about the present!

The dark blue 516676 was probably painted and robbed of its roof walkway in February 1972. This is what is written on the wagon. So the paint was still quite fresh when the photo was taken in April 1972. The old paints also faded a lot. This is hardly the case with todays. Here is a color correction and mirroring of the image from RRPictureArchives.net.

Hi guys,
Something about the planning:
- hope to get a prototype the next two months
- the first batch 40ft PS-1's should be on the market the beginning of October 2022
- the second batch 50ft PS-1's should arrive December 2022 / January 2023
- the third batch 40ft PS-1's will follow directly
- the development of the diesel locomotive will start more at the end of this year and I hope it will be on the market in October 2023
- around the beginning of 2023 we will have a talk about the diesel with a quiz. (No you do not get one for free, but I will give you 50% discount on one set)

Within weeks I will give you an detailed overview of the box cars in the first batch. This combined with an spreadsheet of the first three batches. With the last fourth batch there are still some technical challenges. But it should arrive with the locomotive. (We will have a last quiz for this batch.)

After the fourth batch we will have a year without new box cars to evaluate things. There should be a significant grow in users. If so, every year we will release new box cars, locomotives and other stuff.

Ok give me your reaction.

Ciao,
Rob

Sounds good Rob. Can't wait to find out what model the diesel will be

Also, will the diesel be available with different numbers? If not, I would suggest leaving the numbers unprinted and including decals for multiple choices. As you know, consists are extremely common in NA so the ability to model one is very important.

Although I can not say too much, but the bigger railway companies will have different configurations, lights, equipment, etc, and of course different road numbers. And there is one thing more I can say, it is not a SW1000/1200 or 1500.
Ciao,

Hmmm, that ^ is a gif saying "shut up and take my money".

Need to see why the gif is not giffing....
