What is this kind of locomotive, with "Rail4Chem" lettering ?
I saw it in Amsterdam.
Funny locomotive with a balcony between the cabs.
Note also the triangular lights at the front of the locomotive.

And some additional information on the prototype:
It's a G2000 made by Vossloh and used by various freight transportation companies. This one is a symmetrical version, there's also a version with a non-symmetrical cabin on both sides. If you'd like to have it as a H0 AC model: that's possible. Mehano produces this G2000 in different liveries as DC, DC Digital and AC Digital and AC digital with sound for a quite reasonable price. The Mehano G2000 looks quite nice and is equipped with LED lights.
For the Benelux import see: http://www.rocky-rail.com

I have the G2000 and am very happy with its running characteristics and level of detail. The price is also excellent. The only caveat I would offer is that it is a fairly delicate model, especially the railings so some care is requied in handling. Would I buy another, perhaps, but I'm not really into era V so this is my token modern diesel. Mehano's Class 66, one of these made in Canada for Britain but now all over diesels. Ugly thing, but the model is apparently highly regarded.

I've seen class 66 in prototype and as a Mehano model.

Learning: you may have a very nice model from a very ugly prototype.Cool
