| | | Hello, Here is a french BB62400 in blue color that is normally used for freight trains and mostly in multiple units. Sorry for the colors, it should be classic blue, but looks like Maersk blue just because the image is too yellow. (URL) It is made (...) (19 years ago, 28-May-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX) !

BTW these are ex-Dutch diesel engines (built in France though by Alsthom, guess the circle is complete!), there was only one blue (...) (19 years ago, 28-May-05, to lugnet.trains)

From the proto pics, it appears the the body "wants" to be 8 wide, and the nose 5 wide. There are quite (...) (19 years ago, 31-May-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Although I would concider moving the handrails out a bit, (...) (19 years ago, 31-May-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
