I'm after a couple of BR-57 locos, but struggling to find any. I've heard Lima and Kato both make one, but so far can't find a supplier in the UK.

Gaugemaster stock  Minitrix not sure if  they  have the   BR57       though  best to give them  a ring.

Draw a blank on the BR-57, however I dod manage to pick up a couple of Roco V188 twin-diesels.



I'm thinking about paint one camoflauge colours and keeping the other one DRG green and just weathering it.

I wonder if the BR01 was the one I was looking at? I gave up when the price went over 99p.
The SNCF 231s are getting even more pricey. One was well over £300.00!!

A Trix one, when for just over £40? Could have been.
Don't know about the SNCF 231s. The one I got was a none runner for under £20...

Certainly looks good. Don't suppose she's good on tight curves with that many wheels.

Excellent  Al      as  Poliss   said  tight curves are out   but  it  will  make for  more flowing  track   cant wait to  see her going over  Remagen
