Ah, the first locomotive of my Maerklin years. I still have it around somewhere.

Gee, I wonder how I could explain the P&CS “borrowing” a machine like that…

You call it an engine exchange, you ship one to Germany and get the BR24. You must have something amongst your collection that would be a fair trade.

Hans, the largest locomotive the P&CS had was a 2-6-0. And I would have a problem explaining they whys and hows of getting the thing and reguaging it to 40 inches.

Hmmm…something like that would make me want to do something highy irrational for me, like having a short string of LGB Orient Express cars to pull behind it.

Yeah I know their not really matched prototypes, but that would look better pulling that string of cars than anything LGB has so far paired with them.

:wink:
