This a brand new G Scale PIKO. This robust and weather-resistant model was manufactured in Germany with UV and weather resistant materials for indoor and outdoor use. The model is extremely well detailed. This special American non-cataloged, limited production Amtrak Taurus Locomotive was produced in limited number with two road numbers; 1217 and 1218 (for both road numbers available upon request while supplies last).
The original Taurus prototype was produced in 1997. The OBB (Austrian State Railways) ordered a total of 75 (eventually increased to 400) universal locomotives from the two manufacturers Krauss Maffei & Siemens. The locomotives ( called "Taurus" by the OBB) were supposed to have 4 axles and an engine power of 6400 kW. The OBB also wanted the locomotives to be compatible with different current systems and to reach a maximum speed of 230km/h.
