Model Railroading > SP Krauss Maffei #9010 on Crockett Model Railroad

Three photos showing Union Terminal's excellent model of Krauss Maffei 9010 running today on the Crockett Model Railroad layout.  Friday evening the KM was converted to DCC operation with installation of a decoder.
1. The 9010 with an SP wood chip hopper coupled behind
2.  9010 passing the Martinez depot.
3.  9010 crossing the Benicia Bridge over the Carquinez Straits with Martinez just ahead

That is a beauty, if I win the lottery maybe I can lease one ?

Definitely an exquisite model. Maybe sin the future somebody will be able to record Niles Canyon's K-M for incorporation into a sound decoder.

EO
I'll put in for a lease too - as soon as that second mortgage on my house comes through.
 

Glorious model and photos. The "Spielwaren" (toy seller) booth at Martinez is especially appropriate with that K-M going by!

Cheers,
Harry

What is the price tag on the beast? I'd like to have one but I bet it's out of my price range.....

I believe they were about $1600.00. If you followed the
descriptions given by UTI, the importer on their website over the
corections from the pilot model to the production model, these were nothing but astounding 
prototype details that were absolutely correctly done
in the finished models.

From memory, just shy of 2k.  Assuming I remember right.

A locomotive named Maffei? Who would have thunk

Too bad UTI couldn’t have been bothered to make their E units half as prototyically correct.

Agree. Also the SDP-45’s produced by them by Boo Rim, their 
manufacturer in Korea were also sort of lacking. However, even
now they are being resold for over $800.00.
They will be making the NS Heritage fleet next and they assure me that they will be up
to the KM standards.

I sure hope so, I waited years for my preordered SP E9 but ended up canceling and losing my deposit when it arrived. Way too many incorrect or lacking details...especially for the price tag. I really wanted that model but just couldn’t ignore the issues.
