<p><b> Sam</b> - these locos are built by Bombardier Transportation in Germany and their "brand name" is TRAXX, standing for „locomotives platform for <b>T</b>ransnational <b>R</b>ailway <b>A</b>pplications with e<b>X</b>treme fle<b>X</b>ibility“. The TRAXX family is divided into F´s (= freight), H´s (=Heavy Haul), P´s (=Passenger) and S´s (= High <b>S</b>peed). NJT´s locos are P160AC´s, the 160 standing for the top speed (160 kph or 100 mph) and AC for the current.</p><p><img src="http://www.egghof.com/NJT/Fotos/NJTALP-46_4600.jpg" mce_src="http://www.egghof.com/NJT/Fotos/NJTALP-46_4600.jpg" width="760" height="384"> </p><p>The yellow one on my pic is also a P160AC loco. </p><p>Each railroad has its own "name", in Germany, the passenger locos are mainly referred to as class146.</p><p> As it is 2.30 am, I´ll be heading back to bed now.</p><p>Good Night everyone!</p><p>[sigh][zzz][zzz][|)] </p><p>Edit: Trix, Marklin, Roco, Fleischmann and Piko offer many a version of this loco. The Piko one is fairly inexpensive and could be "americanized" without much effort.<br></p>
