A model of CC 14000 has been made by LIMA . Yes , I know , I know...... ......they are not very much " Gator" , not so " gator " than the others.... ...must be the reason why the french more commonly use to call the BB12000 : " the Iron"....

Joined: 31/01/2003(UTC) Posts: 140 Location: Madrid, Madrid		Hi all, Here in spain we also had an own version of this "crocodiles" or "gators". It was designed for the Compañía de Caminos de Hierro del Norte (North Railways Company) around 1928, and they were numbered as series 7200 and 7300 (later RENFE 272 and 273). I think they're bigger than the typical Ce 6/8, with a wheel arrangement of type 2CC2. They have a design that reminds me of the Swiss Ae 8/14. You can see several photos on this webpage: http://www.railfaneurope.net/pi...istoric/272-273/pix.html Later on there was a more powerful version, numbered 275: http://www.railfaneurope.net/pi...ic/historic/275/pix.html Just to let you all "gator-lovers" to know Kind regards.

Joined: 25/09/2003(UTC) Posts: 2,786 Location: ,		oh , thanks Julio , these Spanish 2CC2 look like pure "gators "!I didn't know these machines.....No model of it from electrotren or Ibertren ? Stevetrain : about the twelve wheels named as "CC 14000" , there is an old model from LIMA . A new model from Lemaco is coming soon . Hope Marklin will do it one day.... there is no announcement about it .... All these french " Gators " were working in the North and East of France , also in Luxembourg ....MRR fans may drive it on a Belgian or Luxemburg layout.....Probably ( I'm not sure )also at some German stations somewhere on the Border between Belgium / Luxemburg / France and Germany , to be exchanged with another locomotive ....Or anywhere they like , in an imaginary world full of "gators" & nice Loks.. These machines were running untill 1999 in France ( 40 years in service ) . Some of them were still running in 2003 under CFL livery ( Luxemburg Railways Company - red / brown and yellow )

Does it have to be Swiss, does it have to be articulated, does it have to have the wedge shape. All good fun. The link has pictures of some locomotives, even has a non-articulated "croc" with a croc painted on it.

Joined: 06/02/2005(UTC) Posts: 1,383 Location: Darmstadt,		Diesel Gator ? Yes, I know one, too: the so called "Hochwald-Krokodil" (high-forest gator) consisting of two R30C diesels (330 hp each, 30 kmh max speed) which are coupled semi permanently and can be controled from one cab. Belonged to a private railroad company. Only one pair existed! I saw these diesels passing almost every day in the late 60s and 70s, hauling 600 tons freight trains over a steep and curvy side line in the south-west german low mountain range. Hans Martin

Yes, I know one, too: the so called "Hochwald-Krokodil" (high-forest gator) consisting of two R30C diesels (330 hp each, 30 kmh max speed) which are coupled semi permanently and can be controled from one cab. Belonged to a private railroad company. Only one pair existed! I saw these diesels passing almost every day in the late 60s and 70s, hauling 600 tons freight trains over a steep and curvy side line in the south-west german low mountain range. Hans Martin Sorry, that's no gator to me. It has at least to be articulated. In this way, every coupled locomotive could be a gator. A Bi-Polar is more gator to me than a GG1.

Game over [xx(] Thus let's relax and see what the new gang will present to us. If there'll be great models - fine. If not - there are still tons of top quality Gators & Crocs (from almost half a century) outa there, waiting to be taken home ... [:p] John
