what kind of loco is that mlehman

 

Presume you're talking about the diesel? It's a Liliput model of the Austrian Gemeinder B-B loco, a 2004 model used on the Zillerthalbahn. Cost including a Lenz Silver decoder and the gauge conversion kit (which makes it easy to hack to HOn3) lists at just over $200.

It is HOn30 (HOe 9 mm gauge) from the factory, with a conversion kit available to convert it to HOm (12 mm gauge, same as TT standard gauge). I converted it to HOn3 (10.5 mm) and custom painted it for my purposes. A full writeup on it is here:

It is a powerful, very smooth running loco, if you don't mind having diesels around.
