Well, since this is the largest active topic on the forum, I thought I would add my 2 cents worth!! I too have purchased my 2nd Croc, a 3356 to go with my 39560. The 3356 is in very good condition, only some light corosion on the pantographs. These can easily be replaced. The 3356 seems to have a very powerful motor, but is now awaiting a digital conversion (along with about 10 other loks....I should stop buying loks, and convert the ones I already have  ). I've been following Gert-Jan's thread with interest about his conversion of a 3356 to the swiss light system. Very interesting. Well, that's enough of the babbling, here's some pictures of the beauties... This is the 3356....... ....and its big sister, the 39560. Note the diferences in the green colouring between these models - 39560 is a darker green. Enjoy   The 3356 came unboxed, but I got lucky and managed to obtain an empty 3352 box off eBay, so now 3356 has a nice warm home to go to....  And to keep them company, I picked up this mint 3065 for about $US38......    Edited by moderator 11 January 2011 20:57:07(UTC)
