...at busch-model.com. It's painted, and is the DB green 'original' version, but [ as Busch points out ] is not the definitive model, especially on the roof mounted stuff.
- I think it looks very good. Apparently MTH/China has actually been able to find wire for the headlights that is smaller than 000 wire gauge.
- Although not too long ago Busch was saying "in Germany in late September, on dealers' shelves in October", it is now "end of 2013, beginning of 2014".
- Busch is apparently still having discussions with MTH about the drive train / electronics, especially the high [ > 5a ] current draw which is a seen as a detriment to potential purchasers.
Frankly, I think the "solution" is to sell the European prototype scale wheel models as "DCC ready" rather than with the DCS outfit -- but then I don't know the economics of such a move.
- The Busch website continues to show "modernized" [ = 2 instead of 3 front windows, inter alia ] for the Austrian versions, suggesting there WILL be two "bodyshell variants".
So, progress, finally. Interesting there's still no further mention anywhere that I know of regarding that European starter set that Mike himself talked about.
Best regards, SZ
