Mmmm - looking good! Think I might tone down the "plasticness" of the steps, but otherwise looks a fine piece of kit. Thanks for the pics.

Yes, they are silver now and probably would benefit from some toning down. I'm very impressed that all three coaches have completely different interiors, though :applause:

Maybe a silly question but was the V60 just a shunter....or did it get out on the line working local passenger trains.....with the 3-axle or similar coaches

Does this answer your question Keith?

Seems like it Alan, collecting the last 3-axle coach from Harvey at the HobbyShop next week..... so maybe order the V60 :thinking:

Radish Bahn - 15/11/2009 2:27 PM Wow. I haven't seen the 3 axle coaches before but they look very nice. Does anybody know how they compare in size to the LGB 2nd class DB coaches?

They are (roughly) the same height as a Harz 2-6-2 and blend in very well (if you are prepared to mix narrow and standard gauge, of course ).

</p><p>Thanks. It looks close enough for me. I'll run anything as long as the colours don't clash

Can anyone provide some pictures of the Piko model against some LGB stock, or even just give the major dimensions (height, width, length)? Thanks in advance.....

Here we go: length - 49.3 cm; height (coach on a flat surface) - 17 cm; width - 11.2 cm.

Photos for comparison:

Many thanks for the coach dimensions. Unfortunately I wanted the principal dimensions fro the topic of this thread - the V60 diesel!!

Thread Drift - always an entertainment.... :wits:

Well its been a while since this thread was started. However I thought I would post some pictures of the V60. We can run 3 on the CFR. The locomotive with the most usage(Mine) as already had to have a new motor block(Open Circuit) and coupling rods(snapped).
