H0 specs:
- New molds - The only HO Class 66 with all wheels powered - Heavy (+600 gr), higher adherence - Metal chassis, plastic body - 5-poles powerful motor with 2 flywheels - Grids and fans photoetched - thin metal handrails - Warm white LEDs - Available both in AC & DC - Sound versions planned (Loksound) - Superdetailed locomotive
Looking at the photos and the specs this seems to be a better version that the Bachmann one. A metal chassis improves the looks of a model by a lot in my opinion (Hornby class 67 anyone?) and the missing sand tubes are in Heljan version as well. I would be surprised if they don't release it in OO. May be as a special commision by a magazine?
