My mistake. I wrote the above response after seeing only one overview pic
with several of your engines. I didn't read the specific page on this
engine, so I didn't realize this actually *was* (modelled after) the Dutch
version. Mostly because I didn't expect a Dutch prototype on a US site,
partly because the color scheme is *slightly* different. Off the top of my
head (and collaborated with one observation today) the grey of the Dutch
railways is more of a dark grey than a light grey. However, according to
your Marklin page, it's light grey indeed.

I doubt that I will come up with something better than your's so probably
not worth to publish (if I actually get to build it at all since you already
did such a great job:-))
