In the meantime I'm working on a heave diesel for the Körschtalban again, which is my main interest. I'm working on a model 'Based on' Brohltalbahn locomotive number D5. 'Based on' being a very optimistic description. The model is seen here receiving drastic surgery after I realised it was 15mm too long due to me getting my sums wrong. Again:
I've just spent time browsing the Blog. The layout looks great.Tony
Excellent, I perfectly recognize the iconic Henschel D5 that resembles the V160 family design. Your idea of a fictional railway is very loveable. We have a 500mm narrow gauge museum nearby. Regretfully they are open for public on rare occasions only, but I managed to ride their trains two years ago. Great project, I am looking forward to see more of your work!
I always wanted by own V160 (which I know as Br218 as I came to Germany in the early 2000's)
BR 218 was only the latest version of the single-engine hydraulic transmission diesel, there were many predecessors which looked exactly the same at first glance. That's why we call it the V160 family
The little red Krokodil is loosely based on the V29 diesels though
