Show Your Latest Purchase In Ho International

Hi Babs,
unfortunately it is not sound, which is a shame as the sound chip for these Roco French Pacifics is amazing and very different to any other steam loco that I have, as I have mentioned in another post. The Rivarossi coaches are lovely aren't they, I'm now looking forward(and saving) for the Jouef SNCF 241 to arrive.
Cheers
Ian

Hello Tonkatoy,

Nice pickup. These are much harder to find in 3-rail versions.

Pierre Dominique has several Rivarossi Fleche D'Or coaches currently, in both brown and blue variants, if you were looking for extras. The pricing is extreme, however.

Hello all, glad you enjoyed the photos. Adrian, I will check out the Pierre Dominique website, thanks for the info.
Cheers

Hello Babs,
That is lovely! I was going to post a picture I took of one of these still working in 2014 but seeing your location, I'm sure I don't need to!
Cheers,
John.

John Can you post the Pic you were thinking of It would be nice to see where it was, Thank you. Babs

I keep thinking of buying one of these locos with the digital coupling - makes for interesting shunting...

Harburg is a lovely little town on the line from Noerdlingen to Donauwoerth. The little Koef is always there to service the cement works you see in the background. Harburg has a famous castle, worth visiting, although the same family also owns Schloss Wallerstein on the other side of Noerdlingen, and I prefer this castle because it houses a brewery with really nice beer !
Noerdlingen is also the home of the Bavarian Railway museum, an awesome place to visit. I will stay in Noerdlingen for 5 nights this year in September. A lot of interesting history in this area and I recommend a visit.

I didn't know this - dammit! Another reason to get back to visit our office in Schonaich...

Cheers

I haven't visited the museum but I did get some photos of their stock from the multi-storey car park by the railway station on the other side of the line. I put them in this blob entry

The town itself is well worth a visit and claims the most complete city wall in the country.
