This is the new face of Siemens diesel cabs, designed to meet the new European-wide safety standards and in this case give a brute the face of a bruiser...all very good...this locomotive just says get out of my way - or get squashed very thoroughly! It probably eats lost sheds for breakfast before taking bites out of passing electrics!!

Woo weee - that is one monster, it manages to make the 232's look graceful, which I never thought possible.

I wonder who will be first with the 1/87 version.

Repeat after me.... I do not want one, I do not want one, I do not want one.

Oh bother yes I do!

Regards

Maybe the Class 66 is another big sister we forgot about.

Johan - just for you information, the sheds mentioned in Goedel's post, see extract above are class 66's. The nickname for the class 66 here in the UK is shed.

Not only silenced probably got a super duper exhaust cleaner so it won't be able to clag all over the place like many of the old style eastern European locos!
