| 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. |

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... |

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
