Dear all,

today I received a small packet from the US that included a "small locomotive". Please see attached pictures.

The model is produced by Red Star Railways ( http://www.redstarrailways.com/ ) in Delaware, US. The model is homemade in cast resin using RTR bogies from an SD-24 (IHC/Mehano). The model is basic but I have to say that for the money asked it is wow (155 $).

The type of the locomotive is the 2TE10U called as a nickname as "rolling earthquacke" :lol: :lol: . The machine is really ecological....please see videos.... :lol: :lol: Mine is in Soviet (SZD) livery from the 80s.

Prototype information.

Vids :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Now I am waiting a whole passenger train composition from Red Star Railways and i will equip the locomotive with an interface and sound.

Cheers
Andreas
