It would be nice of some of these locos were available in H0 scale, regardless of the brand. I wouldn't mind at all to re paint some locos. Not really a locomotive, but still curious Not a joke, lol Any idea of what kind of machine is this? What about this? Any idea of what kind of machine is this? Picture taken more than 100 years ago. Northen had a consession to operate in Costa Rica. Any idea about this one? This one also puzzles me.

I wouldn't mind at all to re paint some locos. Hello Danilo. Frateschi in Brazil does not have the U2B, but have the U5B that is quite the same... They produces only 2-rail DC locomotives, but could be digitalized and transformed to 3-rail AC. http://www.frateschi.com.br/site/?page=locomotivas Quote: Picture taken more than 100 years ago. Northen had a consession to operate in Costa Rica. They also have the Ten-Wheeler (2-3-0), instead of your Northen (1-3-0), but again, quite the same... Maybe worth the job... Cheers, Walter
