It sure looks like the DSB (Danish State Railways) logo and the word GODS in danish does not mean the Lord's own train but simply goods or freight. I haven't actually seen it, I suppose it could be a NSB (Norwegan State Railways) engine. Maybe another member could produce a photo from the proto type. It is the danish litra EG. A lok designed to operate in Denmark, Sweden and Germany. It is used for the freight connection over Øresundsbron between Denmark and Sweden.

So, there are and will be more than excellent successors for these "oldies" on the following pic; they can "retire". One of the new Märklin pieces is already partly visible in the upper left. Even though also this model like its companion from last year is still equipped with the "ugly and outdated 5-star" motor, both of them compensate this deficiency more than 100% with their great realistic sound engines! There can still be found plenty of them in "railway Wonderland"; my only fear is that my display and layout space isn't big enough for all the nice models that are produced by the dream factory in G (this year alone at least 3 new ones).

They were offered in the last century and hence I called them "old" in my upper posting. Quote: [size=1" face="Verdana" id="quote]quote:And to Lutz; the shell of the E50 is mounted the wrong way, you must turn it 180 degrees (not upside- down). Not really. The shell can be mounted either direction (the clips, etc. are symmetric). The reason why you might have thought this is due to the fact that this old lady didn't yet have machine room "curtains" (the latest models have, but they also look now very different inside). Here's a pic of the inside. The Märklin model will for sure be much better. As you can see I replaced the reversing unit by a c90, even though I wasn't fully sure if it would be sufficient for the motor's drawn current. I had to mount it on a special support stand to avoid any contact with the flywheel and gearbox. I also mounted isolated sockets and bi-pin bulbs to avoid the light flickering. I'm still thinking to exchange the decoder with either a c91 or mfx one; which will give me most flexibility to set the lights in line with the prototype (i.e. headlights and rear lights alone, depending if the loco is either pulling or pushing a train). The motor regulation with the c90 is already quite good; I'm not sure if, rather skeptic that it will be really better with the c91. Needless to say, it will not be useless when I get the new Märklin E50; they are anyways different eras.

Is it the "Arth Goldau" from starterset 29850? Hi Guus, the answer is clearly YES. Quote: [size=1" face="Verdana" id="quote]quote:BTW,I really like that dark blue Baldwin loc of the Dutch Railways (NS) parked behind your Ae 6/6! Me too!!! I do fully share your enthusiasm for the Ae6/6 loco - both the prototype and the models (regardless whether from Märklin or HAG). Thus I've quickly moved my small collection of those from my display - where they usually wait for their "layout duty" - to an adjacent table to share it with you. From left to right (lower row, green - upper row red ones): 11414 Bern Kanton (#3638, converted to c91 and various light options) 11403 Schwyz Kanton (#37362, mfx sound) 11439 Frauenfeld (#3650, c80, with grey buffers) 11453 Arth-Goldau (#29850/51, mfx sound) 11437 Basel Stadt(#3737, c90) 11428 Luzern (#37366, c91) 11425 Genf Kanton (#3636, converted to c91 with various light options) 11422 Vaud Kanton (#37361, mfx sound) 11417 Fribourg Kanton (#3736, c90) 11520 Langnau i.E. (#37362, mfx sound) 11426 Zürich Stadt (#3739, c90) 11432 Stans (#28505, Delta) 11463 Göschenen (#39361, C-Sinus) This accumulates all of the new designed models since 1991; yet this year my collection should still grow by the 11404 "Luzern" from #29680 - to "keep balance" between green and red liveries - and the Ae6/6 Cargo #37373.

Joined: 13/10/2004(UTC) Posts: 2,616		Hi Lutz, WOW,I envy you!You're collection is just amazing. Thanks for the nice photos. Now that you mention the new Cargo version of the Ae 6/6,do you know whether this loc will be available outside Switzerland or is it a Swiss dealer initiative and for Swiss customers only? Quote: [size=1" face="Verdana" id="quote]quote:I do fully share your enthusiasm for the Ae6/6 loco - both the prototype and the models (regardless whether from Märklin or HAG). Last Sunday on my way from Visp to Geneva by train, I saw quite a lot of them at depot Lausanne,even a green one ,which I believe is becoming rare. As you may know I'm as much a fan of HAG as I am a fan of Märklin and I may add a HAG Ae 6/6 to my collection in the near future. Kind regards Guus

I'm still investigating (or have asked my dealer to do so). It doesn't seem to make much sense to buy a model in Switzerland that was delivered from Märklin's storage department less than 30km away from my place, just to carry it back to Germany.

Ahh - another "Swiss train spotter"! Great!!! I was there just the weekend before you. So you saw too that they're still heavily working on the extension of the platforms/tracks for the new Lötschberg base line. Green Ae6/6's can still be seen everywhere. On Saturday and Sunday I saw and pictured some (11461 Locarno, 11471 Pratteln, 11517 Brunnen) and alone in Olten I four of them (11403 Schwyz, the prototype of our "famous" Märklin loco, 11407 Aargau, 11513 Wallisellen and 11515 Kreuzlingen). Here some impressions: Quote: [size=1" face="Verdana" id="quote]quote:As you may know I'm as much a fan of HAG as I am a fan of Märklin and I may add a HAG Ae 6/6 to my collection in the near future. I was strongly considering to participate in the HAG Forumslok order, but finally felt that an Ae6/6 in TEE livery wasn't really matching my own "taste". The nice thing with the new HAG models is that they come with (ESU) digital/sound and the new mtc interface pcb. The DC contact problems are resolved now too, anyways they never were very apparent with their AC models.

Yes I saw that too,also the integration of the MGB line into the station of Visp is in a far more advanced stage than it was when I last visted Switzerland about a year ago.

I know,I have several HAG models now with ESU decoders and some of them with the 21 pole plug adapter. Kind regards Guus
