My wife and I have been downtown Stuttgart again. I had no plans for the LHS but they dumped a Bachmann SOU GP50 for 29.95€. It is a simple model without DCC even without a DCC plug but it runs as good as the other Bachmann Geeps. Bachmann did find a technical and economical way to build well functioning drives at very low cost.
I mad some minor modifications: new PCB and DCC decoder, some black, silver, white and yellow paint, two snow plows and Kadee couplers mounted with two small washers to swing freely. It is a nice and very useful engine for small money
