Time to refresh your memory, remember the “Franconian solution”? The jobs would stay in Nürnberg and LGBoA would be a junior partner in the venture.
Then what happened? Well the consortium came up a few € short of what the banks required and supposedly the banks made completely unrealistic demands. Someone even mentioned “gangster methods”! Shocking, absolutely shocking! :lol: :lol:
Bob, it’s too early to rewrite recent happenings that are well documented! 
Hans-Joerg,
It was pretty obvious that they wanted to keep it in Germany, now they got screwed… Nothing more needs to be said… And you are right we may get some LGB 1 of these days… Notice that there is no month or year stated…
Bob,
You can always check at http://www.lgb-bahn.de/ , they post regular delivery update PDFs ie the RhB flatcars I’m looking for are scheduled for the 3rd quarter. As listed in the “NEW for 2009” list.
