About US style diesel switcher by Bernhard Schipper
US style diesel switcher (shunter) in H0 scale without active motor - so the loco isn`t self driving. The Idea was to show a model of the motorization due to a removable hood over engine and gear. The loco is sporting an interpretation of german style automatic coupling used on german switchers.All parts are original LEGO except the wheels. The loco improved over time - the change was done in 2021. I'm thinking about to made it 8 wheeled. The width is 4 wide!
