Arnold NS TRAXX 186 002

Last week I bought an Arnold NS TRAXX 186 002 locomotive.

Having recently seen these locos in action in the Netherlands I now think I am getting a taste for modeling Dutch railways.

Not a fan of Traxx locos myself, but the model looks good!

 

These locomotives are nowadays used only in 'pull-pull' configurations with coaches inbetween for Intercity services that run on (part of) high speed lines. As a regular of trains pulled by these locos I'm glad Bombardier was able to make them a bit more reliable, although it's still far from desirable.

I do rather like these locos. I spent a rather enjoyable hour or so at Rotterdam Centraal watching these shuttle back and forth- back in April 2017.

I have my eye on the H0 version - I have the Brawa German version (class 146), an excellent model.

I also got this model last week. I am very happy with it, it's a very smooth runner!
