Hi All

The Loco for me that really changed the amount of detail available RTR first sold in 1972
the Fleischmann BR64 the worst aspect of this model is the gap in the buffer beam for the coupler but the rest of the detail is great Lettering fantastic

It won awards at the time

From the 1973 catalog

Regards Zmil

The look of the wheels (although not corrected in flange size) is much improved with the "blackened " wheelsets
then the oversize flanges are not as noticable
