Snip a bit of intro

I saw these engines of you a few days ago
and thought they were “nice”. Now I see the prototypes
and I know yours are in fact georgeous models!

Thank you and others for the nice compliments to the BR 252 model-- now I know
its number designator.

I think you know the prototypes have been made in the former USSR and are
known under two nicknames: “Ludmilla” and “Taigatrommel” (=Taiga-Drum)
because of the very noisy (and dirty) diesels...
|
I learn more from you, again. I didn’t know this.

Since the German reunion with the merge of “DR” and “DB” these seam to be
spread all over Germany as I just have read - some are even rent to the
Netherlands railway.

Anton tells me that this type of loc rolls by his locale. He has told me he
certainly favours the electric trains. Know I know why! Dirty diesels at his
door step.
Thanks!

| (...) Dear James, once again you have amazed me with a briliant LEGO® model after an existing design. I have not been too familiar with this kind of loco (in fact I have never seen a BR 232 in in real life, although I live near a bigger train line). (...)
