Thanks to Ben Beneke I learned these two things at BrickFest PDX:

1) A German counter-part to the fabled Santa Fe style warbonnett locomotive is the German DB v200 or v220(?).

2) 7-wide is beautiful ;-)

Here’s my first go at the German DB v200/v220 pulling a simplistic 6-wide consist of “Lorelei” cars (as described from a Maerklin catalog).

pic one

pic two

The DB v200 loc is 7-wide. Has a simple engine inside. Not too many details.
