@ Ray: this E41 is from 1961. It has made thousands of kilometers in all those years, I guess, but is still in almost original state (I replaced some wires which were brittle, and one of the pantographs is still waiting for replacement)

@ SRB: Yes, the old turnouts with big lanterns work very reliably. Only drawback: I can't use any coaches longer than 24 cm. Even my 26.4 cm streamliners hang in the curves.

The very same goes for my old green E1141 #3036 from X-mas 1961 when I was 10.

Hi Pietro, many thanks for the very good pictures of your nicely matching pair of Electrics [:p]!!!
(wish my own pix were only half as good ...)

And re used locos I guess it is like with old blue jeans - my old #3033 from 1979
beats my brand new #30345 forty miles by sunday when it comes to running smoothly Smile

Yes, Stig, you're right. biggrin

Besides 110 is from beginning 80's. And, as john said, I bought it when I was eight (!), it is the loco I used the most, but it stills runs like the first day! SmileSmileSmile

<br />What you feel is my love for it,
and it's the same thing that you can feel reading the Zora's topic about hers model

Fair right, Al Smile

<br />From the sixties (1963) the 3012 and 3013, two classic jewels posing with two different tin stations.



Since we are talking about Bo'Bo's, in these locomotives this is reproduced in a very curious way: in fact, the 2nd and 3rd axis are driven by the motor and linked to the chassis, and the two extreme axis can move... so in the model the arrangment is 1' B 1', while the prototype is a Bo' Bo'.
I hope these pictures of my SEW 800 (fifties version of 3013) will explain this better than me... [:I]

This was done for a better running in the curves.

Most interesting explanation, Pietro - thank you Smile
Seems to be the same kind of chassis like in the old E44s. BTW, didn't know they had two pick-up shoes ...

Yes john, it was the same chassis. The double pickup shoe was used until the beginning of sixsties. I think Almagik's 3012 and 3013 should have a single central pickup shoe.

BTW, talking E44s - got the PRIMEX 20th Anniversary Train Set (#P2702 from 1989) for my small collection,
today: It contains a blue E44 (#P3008, LFCM, heavy metal) plus 5 little tank cars (tin plate chassis)
- all in condition brand new & factory sealed box.
That Electric is almost as heavy as a Gator and runs like a dream ... [:p]

Exellent selection John,tank wagons are my favotites.
An outsider.
I'm looking for the owner of that horse. He's tall, blonde, he smokes a cigar, and he's a pig!
