Guten Tag Herr Stefan Otte! I love tuna casserole, may I order it now, as Steven invited me to it? It´s sweltering hot today, hitting 34°C around noon. It has not yet cooled off, so we have a unhealthy temperature of 27°C inside. I try to cool off by thinking about ice cream - plain vanilla, topped with rum raisins and a hot dark chocolate sauce - yummy, but a forbidden fruit for me. I love watching the Croc running on my layout! As it seems, the Bemo staff must now sport a sound engineer, as the hum of the motor sounds quite realistic. Even the slightly stomping noise of the prototype can be heard! Love it! YGW - what´s up with the reptiles, you ask? Well, one of them, a crocodile (that´s the official nick name of my new loco) has chosen my layout as its new habitat! Allow me to give you a little insight on crocodiles: 1. The original Swiss Crocodile <img src="http://images.nzz.ch/eos/v2/image/view/620/-/text/inset/ef9708d4/1.18375642/1409666869/das-krokodil.jpg" alt=" " /> Built in the 1919 for service on the Gotthard line. 2. The Rhaetian Railway "Baby Crocodile" <img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9b/Ge_6-6_I_N%C2%B0_414_in_Untervaz_%2825.05.2008%29.jpg/1024px-Ge_6-6_I_N%C2%B0_414_in_Untervaz_%2825.05.2008%29.jpg" alt=" " /> Built in 1921 until 1929, 6 surviving, two frequently operating nostalgic trains. 3. German Crocodile <img src="http://img.fotocommunity.com/e94-das-deutsche-krokodil-0c4b1d72-12db-47a6-b716-d592715681db.jpg?height=1080" alt=" " /> Not officially recognized as a "Crocodile", often also refered to as "Eisenschwein" (iron pig). built from 1940 to 1956. 4. Austrian Crocodile <img src="http://www.voba-medien.de/assets/images/OBB-X-1189-05-GZug-Bad-Goisern-WS-X-800-517.jpg" alt=" " /> Built in 1923 onwards. A copycat Swiss Crocodile, but not as good, though. Built for the Arlberg line. There are more locos having a similar appearance, but none of them earned the title "Crocodile". TTFN!
