And for those lucky with BIG SCALE here comes M's latest flagship #55563 - a true superstar Only drawback: at €2,000 !!! they should make her shells from real tinplate [^]. Not plastic ... [:0][xx(]

Only possible explanation for (although they don't mention it in the catalog): Guess with this model M wanna resemble an really dirty roof, blackened by graphite dust from the pantos' schleifers - nice touch (they did similar weathering in the past on the dark-green E1020 Gator's (#39222) silver roof, but then only moderately) Quote: [size=1" face="Verdana" id="quote]quote:Originally posted by john black <br />The brand new set of classic HO Gators #37225. Though sans whistle they are just beauties [:p][:p][:p] *** left side: E194 in chrom-oxyde green *** right side: E94 in bottle green *** And as a very first in M's history of post-war HO Gators: this E194 got a black roof ...

If conversion is as easy as with my Big Boy from the Magnum package they could easily be made to run on Mä tracks. Jeroen

Don't know if #76200 plus sound modul goes with the DCM ... However, I'll invest in new decoders & sound modules only if the Gators run nicely with the small motors.
