I was excited at the possibility of getting a second Re 484 for my collection. I already have the Roco 68501. I was also looking forward to the Brawa model, because I do not have one yet and I know that Brawa is supposed to manufacture Traxx locomotives for LS Models.

This week, the first of these models showed up on ebay. Here is a photo taken from an one of the listings:

I was rather displeased to note that the roof layout corresponds to a BR 185/Re 482 and not to the multisystem Re 484.
Unfortunately for Brawa, this is a DEALKILLER for me.

I may look into the Brawa model of the BLS/Railpool BR 186 instead. Hope that that model has the proper appearance.

Regards

Hi Mike, I had a Brawa Akiem version, it did not like K track? I was very disappointed 😔
It was a very intermittent runner, stopping and starting etc. The sound decoder however was the best I have ever heard on a HO loco?
I ended up returning it. Your best of keeping with Roco for a detailed model.
