New engines

Two new engines and the sound decoder for my X 76501/76502 Hauts-de-France rénové.

 

DB BR 120

I happened to get this model with its sound decoder at a very reasonable price! This engine has been seen pulling the Paris-Moscow train!

I gave it address #1241.


 

 

ÖBB Class 1116 - Taurus

I need this locomotive for several international train compositions.

It is Roco 70527. I need to change the DCC address; for now, it is #3.

Lastly, I thought my AGC had an issue until I found out that the decoder was missing. I now received the decoder from the store and I should install it next.

Avala - Winter 1992 - Wien -> Beograd

Sadly I could not find a photo or a video of the Avala with a V63 ; instead ACME provides one with a V43 engine - which is announced by Piko ...

It nicely matches exactly what is provided on vagonweb.cz:
