QUOTE (dbclass50 @ 6 May 2007, 19:08) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Thanks for the information guys - as far as I know the rules regarding emblems have been relaxed a little - provided it is for genuine historical reasons. I bought my 05 off eBay with the emblems already fitted on on side & the other still in the box.

Diffecult subject - I would like to run/display it more (as well as the Trix E19 I have) but would not wish to offend anyone as it can be an emotive subject for many people.

If I remember correctly the swastika marking can now be used in Germany, but only in an historic context, ie on preserved locomotives and aircraft etc.

I am certain that when I was last at Nurnberg transport museum that their E19 (?) was sporting the eagle badge on the front of the loco, if I remember correctly the guys in the museum told me that they had only recently been allowed to re-apply it.

I think the subject of the third Reich and it's excesses will be an emotive subject for many years to come, and because of this I believe that it is essential that the facts of history are not allowed to become blurred with time. I for one would not want to see it happen again on the scale it did during the 30's and 40's. Unfortunately genocide seems to be closely connected with dictatorships throughout history. It is up to people like us to ensure that it does not happen again.
