Does somebody knows more about this locomotive?

Looks like a class 152 from the German railways. If so, it would be very easy for Märklin to build this locomotive as addition to the USA range of models.
Must be fun.

They are known as ALP-46.

More information here !

It would be great indeed to see Märklin producing that locomotive ! [:p]

As it is a Class 101 derivative, it would be "easy" for Märklin to offer a NJT ALP-46 ...

Especially nice livery, I want one. Pierre is right - easy task ... Cool
I hope no one visits a poor Southener's layout in Brooklyn. Intruders beware of Gators.
