Thanks for the friendly comments. May be it will take some time until I do another little video.
A new toy arrived from M.B.Klein today. Athearn made a beautiful model, the drive needs some more break in to be really smooth but the "bulb technology" is outdated. They are dimmed far to much for a modern engine to prevent excessive heat and short live time.

ps. Shipping was very unusual this time. The parcel arrived at Chicago USPS facility 8/1. That was the last entry I could trace at USPS and DHL online tracking sides. I was concerned and expected a lost parcel. Only seven days later had the parcel made it's way over the pond, through central customs, to local customs and a paper letter arrived in my postbox on 8/7. That was outstanding fast but absolute no online trace of the parcel. It is still shown in Chicago..... :?:
