I have some coaches (such as 4095) for the TEE, but I do not have catenary on my layout, and I don't really have any intention of installing it at the moment. I know typically the TEE would see electric service, but I did see 30747, which is a DB 218 in red and creme colours. I know only one 218 was painted in this scheme. Are there any other locos suitable for the TEE that arn't electric? Thanks, Brandon

V 200 or BR 210 are prototypically correct for certain TEE trains (two or three coaches will do). V 200 was also used for the 1962 Rheingold.

Tom, Thank you, you save me the cost of getting 218 217, as I don't have much interest running a museum train. As far as V200/BR210 being prototypically correct, what would be the best paint scheme? Would it be the typical DB era III red/black?

Hi Tom, Brandon and all, Maybe this one doesn't count ....but for some time the Bavaria TEE was pulled by BR 218 or BR 210, between Munich and Lindau, over the Allgäubahn, ...(see pic below) This was the replacement TEE composition put together in a hurry after the Aitrang disaster which destroyed one of the five RAm TEE (the SBB n° 501) The same train was taken over by an SBB Re 4/4 I, which also eventually appeared in TEE livery. Eventually, the SBB Wr was also painted in TEE colors... I think it is definitely possible that 218 217 could have pulled that train too on a bright day...

After 1974, it is possible that some of these loks would be in the new blue/beige livery. In Switzerland, from 1962 to 1972, the Rheingold was pulled by a green Re 4/4I with an applied TEE symbol on the front. The red/beige Re 4/4Is only appeared starting in 1972. The Re 4/4II in the TEE livery was used to pull the TEE Roland, TEE Arbalete and TEE Helvetia starting in 1969. This site has a lot of information about the makeup of TEE trains: http://www.heinrich-hank...bahn/reisezuege/_tee.htm http://www.heinrich-hank...bahn/zugbildung/_tee.htm http://www.heinrich-hank...enbahn/zugbildung/_d.htm Regards Mike C
