    Roco had some good models, they might be considered old now but I still like them.
    Some of them have an amazing power as well.
    I have a few V200 locomotives and they are capable of pulling 25 four axled hoppers, not bad for a starter set locomotive.

      It really is an impressive loco, like you say for the age of the loco it keeps up well with more modern locos, shes a keeper 👍

      @@ThisWayWorksTWW You still might need some luck with locomotives but I've never bought a dud yet.
      There are also quite some collectors items by Roco, basically anything Dutch is good but there are still a lot of other interesting models too 😄

    Nice loco. Roco models are greatly detailed and if you can get one at a reasonable price, they run superb as you can see. Like it. Often think of getting some continental locomotives. Swiss railway is good to model. Thanks for sharing. 🎉

      And imagine, this is probably late 70’s early 80’s Roco 😂

    I do believe that something very similiar is used at BS Scunthorpe having been transferred from BS Lackenby.

    I think some v90s or v100s did operate in the uk on channel tunnel or ctrl construction trains.

      Does this mean your coming over to the N gauge world? 😁

      @@ThisWayWorksTWW I’ve always admired it, especially the proper length trains and that in good sized area you can make a much more realistic environment unlike 00 which has always looked weird and toy like to me.
      I was planning an N layout in my loft then Hornby launched TT120 which is just that little bit more manageable and of course a true scale/gauge.
      Shorter answer? No 😃

    Nice seeing European locomotives

    Hope you realise that european N scale is 1:160. This is probably the reason your class 20 body doesn't fit.

      Im quite glad i didnt chop it up in the end, i have ended up buying a Class 20 instead 👍
