Model Railroading > SP Krauss Maffei #9010 on Crockett Model RailroadDate: 02/17/19 21:03 SP Krauss Maffei #9010 on Crockett Model Railroad Author: SPB 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 Gerry Date: 02/17/19 22:27 Re: SP Krauss Maffei #9010 on Crockett Model Railroad Author: mrsaxtonsr That is a beauty, if I win the lottery maybe I can lease one ?

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

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

Date: 02/19/19 08:21 Re: SP Krauss Maffei #9010 on Crockett Model Railroad Author: Auburnrail 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.

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.

Way too many incorrect or lacking details...especially for the price tag. I really wanted that model but just couldn’t ignore the issues.
