 Robert - that Atlantic is a class S9 passenger steamer of the former Royal Prussian Railway Administration (Koenigl. Preussische Eisenbahnverwaltung - KPEV), built around 1910. Despite of its sleek look, the design was not really successful and only a small number were built. Their service life ended about 15 years later. The model is by BRAWA ( <a href="http://www.brawa.de/en/products/h0/locomotives/steam-locomotives/40270-s9-preussen.html" target="_blank" mce_href="http://www.brawa.de/en/products/h0/locomotives/steam-locomotives/40270-s9-preussen.html">http://www.brawa.de/en/products/h0/locomotives/steam-locomotives/40270-s9-preussen.html </a>), superbly made, but out of reach in terms of price. In Germany it sells for about 550 Euros, that´s $ 730.00! Off course, it´s DCC and sound and you should not have a problem to run it on code 100 rail, even code 83 is fine. Paulus - sorry for misquoting you - it was Stein, who wrote something like it!I fell in love with US outline model railroading after I opened my first copy of MR 40 years ago. Since then, I am especially fond of those big articulated steamers and the F- and E-type diesels, best in a A-B-A consist! I do not care much about those GP´s and SD´s with their box-like utility design, but that´s my personal choice. Buying US locos was out of reach in those days - brass locos were about $100 - the weekly spending income of my father. US model railroading was very much advanced in those days, but; IMHO, the Europeans have covered a lot of ground, since.
