Edit: in fact, passing the crashworthiness tests with that much glass on the front must have been a challenge.

RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted April 6, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 6, 2023 Hi all, ROG have posted an image of 93001 on their website. It is currently undergoing testing at Stadler's Valencia plant but is expected in the UK within the next few weeks. https://railopsgroup.co.uk/news/ What the photo doesn't show is that unlike the images previously released the locomotives are being shipped with yellow front end warning panels. cheers Ben A. 12 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purnu Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Having seen a front end image of the new loco I just wondered how much (if any) does it present a tooling challenge? Will the Dellner, buckeye(?) and screw couplings be provided as extras for the modeller to add? It’ll be interesting to see if they run in service with everything attached, as a driver myself I actually find the front quite ‘busy’. Regardless, it’s great to see new traction and technical advancements being made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted April 18, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 18, 2023 Hi there, Although we have had plenty of information/drawings etc from Stadler we haven't seen the real thing in the flesh ourselves yet; decisions about how the models will be configured for delivery are yet to be finalised. In general we try to leave the customer as little to do as possible, but it is clear from photographs that an undeployed Dellner will foul the tension-lock coupler, so I suspect we will end up with some kind of switchable solution for flexibility. cheers Ben A. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure it's not this 🤭 These have the Dellners facing upwards out of use, unlike the droopy ones on the class 69. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted June 28, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 28, 2023 Hi all, With the arrival of the first loco in the UK we will be resuming development of this model - look out for an update in the coming weeks. cheers Ben A. 11 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritishRail60062 Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 I like the livery. Not too keen on the design, it kind of reminds me of a robot at the ends. Maybe they will grow on me in the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would make them look more like a mix of a Class 92 and an ALC-42 at the front ends. If Stadler wants a designer, I would be happy to help them out and I have designed some pretty looking locomotives as concepts 😉. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
