Re6/6 for Warley?

According to one of the guys from M G Sharp I spoke to yesterday, the long awaited Kato/Lemke N-gauge model of the Swiss Re6/6 Bo-Bo-Bo is finally due within the next four weeks, and could well be on sale at the Warley show in December.

One of the modern European locomotives in Sid Meier's Railroad Tycoon, the powerful prototype locomotives were introduced in 1972 for use on heavy passenger and freight traffic over the steeply graded alpine main lines, especially the Gotthard line. Nowadays the newer Re460s have replaced them on passenger work, but they're still hard at work on heavy freight throughout Switzerland.

With the original models produced a few years back by Hobbytrain now fetching silly prices, the new production is eagerly awaited by anyone modelling the Swiss scene in N.
