Hi Kurt,
You are refering to 4551 Austrian Federal Republic Locomotive which in
the US is called the Crocodile engine (for some reason?). I have scoured

market. I believe this set was never readily available in the US and is
a must have for all those train maniacs like myself. It contained a
number of unique pieces so building one from spares would be near to
impossible.
