DMU help!!!

[jbaakko]

I remember, some time last year, when the Sprinter service was coming about here in the San Diego area, that someone had posted a picture of a European HO scale model, of a Siemens DMU. I cannot for the life of me remember who made such a model, but time has come to say, "I WANT ONE!"

Looks similar to this, but the model was red, I think.

Heck, I answered my own question... Now to find some.

Josh, looks like it's not actually been released yet. You can get it http://www.ontracks.co.uk/index.php?page=product&prodID=82346 but save your pennies - this one is going to be painful

 

[jbaakko]

Well, heck, thanks Jim, thats even better then the Trix version. Thats a Desiro, the exact version I need! Plus, according to Piko $369 US, is better then the $450 US for the Trix version!

Heck, they even have some that are in stock, from older releases!

If I can get one quick enough, that'd be cool to bring to the Western Prototype Modelers meet in August!

For that price, I hope you get that thing in revenue service asap

 

[jbaakko]

Lol, yeah, mighty high price tag, but I really like those guys.

Now all you need is the bus sound effects for it. You should REALLY hear the horns on those! They are rediculous! What'd be better is if they put a Leslie S5T on a little thing like that!

I'll bet you can get an ECU sound decoder for it, or a download if you can do your own

I didn't get to hear the horn, both directions I was drowned out by the Surfliner. We'll see about sound later, $370 is gonna be hit enough, not to mention then I need to have decals made!
