Nah... they've not been yellow for ages. I well remember the first time I took my N gauge layout to Germany back in 2003. I was running my Minitrix tunnel rescue set which had recently cost me £199 (discount price), a new german friend who worked for DB said "of course they're all in red now"!PhilP said:Wrong colour! ::
Track maintenance machinery HAS to be yellow!
[edit]... Though I suppose this counts as rescue rather than maintenance[/edit]

My favourite loco is my Bachmann 1:20.3, 55 Ton, 3 truck Shay.
It will always be my favourite because its purchase came with strings attached, namely I had to get married before I could buy it, now how is that for dedication to ones hobby?
How far would you be prepared to go?

No, Dingler. Korean-built small batch (100?) brass. The "big brother" to the Ts3 0-6-0 that I do have. Ludicrously expensive, something up around the 4000 Euro mark when new, never even seen a second-hand one....
I see what you mean about the sound, Nick - though it's a commercial German-made sound decoder that is presumably authentic....?

This one is battery powered with RC
The smoke ? 24 volt unit off DCC track power

Not quite a loco, but this:
Ugly, daft, didn`t want to move sometimes and required a boot up the bumper* (this sounds like me on a Friday night) but still a chuckle when it was going up & down the branchline. The only part of the railway that I found hard to part with, to be honest.
* If the bloke that bought it is reading, I think it was because I ran analogue using an LGB shuttle unit but the `bus needs a minimum 5v to start

I'm "the bloke that bought it", Puggy, and don't worry - it's been running fine for me....
It's safe and being well looked after, and will get a DCC chip and sound whenever I can get around to it!
