New engines


Some new engines .... 


BB 17003

This is my first model from R37 - https://www.r37.fr - and probably my first BB 17000. Its reference number is HO 41057. I need to do more research, but I believe it would run well with the orange version of the VB2N from Vitrains.









Class 66212 ECR

This is my second class 66 ECR from REE Modeles / ESU and I had it renumbered into Class 66212.

For some reasons, the ESU decoder shows up as M4. I do not understand this, but I made it work somehow ...




I need a new screenshot here, because I believe I managed to config it as DCC and address 6612.


BB 22278RC

This is a unique model of the BB 22200 Nord Pas-de-Calais with a specific front band.

I have two issues with it:
- one yellow headlight doesn't work on the coupler side
- the machine starts running then stops. The decoder seems fine, so it might be dirty rails or wheels



Traxx Lineas E 186 291-1

This is another custom made model. This one is based on a Roco model.
