4563 : loco doesn't look much German/Dutch to me... maybe French, but
then the colors wouldn't be right. The red closed freight car is OK-ish,
the rest is pretty much simplified
4564 : loco is pretty decent, bit like the MaK diesel range. Again, most
of the freight cars look quite poor. A re-release of just the diesel
would be nice.
I liked quite a few things about the 4565 diesel, althouth without the
doors it looked a bit juniorized to me.
To me, most of the 12v designs resembe the European rolling stock
best... 7755 and 7760 are still my favorite diesel engines.
LEGO could easily do something like a German class 141 or 110 or 111.
Easy to do, TONS of varieties in color and with a few different bricks
you'd even be able to do a 150/151 (with some concessions, but I doubt
many would really be upset) Also quite nice would be the French
7200/15000 class, with the special nose design by Paul Arzens (which
would mean us dutchies could easily build our class 1600 and 1100 :D )
