LGB GE4/4 III LanXESS

[Elmtree Line]

Hi Folks,

Has anyone else got one of these??? I have yet to see one on a railway in the UK yet.

I do like them, want one to, Hopefully in the future..

Yes Keith, I've got one. I had a quest to secure every livery of Ge 4/4 III as produced and this was the last one I bought - no. 11 in the sequence. Nice livery, if not my favourite - that's probably either BCU (mountain goats) or Radio Grischa (the purple one that started it all on the RhB).

A combination of the past few years' wet weather and work commitments mean that there haven't been many trains running in this corner of Surrey for some time but this will hopefully change, with appropriate photographic evidence in due course!
Cheers

Yep I've got one. Just waiting for it to return from a warranty repair, then the DCC install and pan motors can commence

Having posted my reply, I had to check if it really is 11 Mk IIIs currently in my collection - and it is. Here's a picture of nine of them taken a few years ago, and since then the Unesco (light blue, Landwasser viaduct image) and Lanxess have been acquired.
I really like them (although the Bernina 100 liveried Mk II is great too!).

Really like the white ones, Phil - a quick pic to show how good your version is:

I've lost track of how many different liveries there have been on the real RhB and now there is at least one plain red one running around which is the first for some years. Bemo have made HOm models of many of them, bad for the credit card, even at the exchange rate of three HOm to one LGB.... HOm is much easier to smuggle indoors though...
