April Loco builds party

[Amtrak X995]

Hi

.......Being from Europe, I've been to Sweden and seen the locos in action that the AEM7 's were based on, the RC series of locomotives, the RC4 and RC5 being the most recent ones.
Roco used to make great models of these, and I'm guessing that the Atlas model was based on these, at least mechanically.

Koos

tecnical are the identical in this poin´ts, thta both have middle motor, 2 flywheels, all whell drive.....thats all.
Better choice of an Amtrak x995 is the Märklin model, simply convert them in DC© with orginal Märklin DC Parts, only you have to trim the wheels in RP25 shape instead of NEM shape.
Then adding sanding pipes, the interiour of an other Märklin loco, some details parts, thats it....
sorry that are some older pics, made with an small camera
