HLE 1839 - LS Models 12219S


This model was released a couple of years ago and I'm only now set it up on the ESU ECoS.


Prototypical engine

There are many pictures of HLE 18, but luckily I found two with the exact number:

It seems it is mostly pulling (or pushing) passenger cars, and all those cares - M6, I6, I10, or I11 - are available in miniature.

First, some close-up pictures of this model:









I assigned address #1839 on the ECoS:



And an attempt to a more sophisticated video!

BB 522229

 Another engine done by Rails Models Creation - the BB 522229 in its "Fantôme" livery based on Roco 73884.


The prototypical locomotive


I found several pictures of this engine pulling Corail passanger cars in their Carmillon livery. They are TER trains between Paris Nord and Maubeuge or Saint Quentin.

Great work from Rails Models Creation again:

And as usual, a short video!

Traxx 186 258-0 LINΞΛS Heroes in HO scale


I'm now the happy owner of that locomotive in HO scale. The transformation was done by Rails Models Creation from the black engine made by Roco as ref 73215.










The engine is in the ECoS with address #258:


I created and uploaded the image from one of the pictures above:



And as usual, a short video!
