(...) That one lookls great James! I like your way to use the 2x2-plate with side technic hole in several different places of your engine. Colour scheme and the amount of details are georgeous "as usual" when I see a model of yours... Which one has (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) The real brick model came first. I worked from a photo of a Maerklin model in one of my Maerklin catalogs. I'm not sure I would have built it in CAD first, since I don't have a .dat file for the 12v motor nor the 12v motor gray drive rods. I (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) No, I don't think so. This was from a "new items" small brochure featuring only new items from year 1982 for gauge I, HO, and Z. The model of the DB236 was an HO scale. (...) Lot's of good inspiration in there! (...) Sounds like the MOT green (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains)
