Dutch models?

I have been wondering if the dutch modelling scene has produced a late version of the old EM2 class77, 27000 series.

Trying to get a model means kit built which I'm not very good with, or the old Hornby model, and the condition of these things varies, as does the price.

Any info gratefully received.

Regards.

I have seen HO models of these at the Utrecht exhibition a few years ago, kit built or specialist supplier IIRC. You will need to do some searching on the dutch websites. Keith Make friends in the hobby. Visit Garratt photos for the big steam lovers.

Philotrain is one firm that springs to mind; don't know if they're still in production, but they offered NS and BR versions of the EM2 a few years ago. See;

A very nice model, though little details like buffers and tail lamps appear to be Dutch rather than British spec.

It is a nice looking model.

Now to try and track one down.

Thank you for the information.

The Philotrain model was HO rather than OO, of course. If I remember correctly it was also ferociously expensive - I think something like £300 - £400 in kit form.

If you want a OO model, the EM2 appears in DC Kits 'forthcoming' list as a one piece resin casting, which I would expect to be very good given the standard of their other similar kits.

According to the HO model society it was Dfl 1540 for built locos (Dfl 1590 for BR green version, around £400) and Dfl 875 for kits (around £200). A much cheaper RTR version is available in short runs from Kleinspoor at approx

130 Euro.
