So, what are the first impressions by lucky owners of this brass locomotive? How does it compare to older AZL diesel brass engines? :-) After a 45 min run in, the engine runs slowly and very smoothly. Pulls easily 20 freight cars or 10 heavyweights. Here is my run-in train. You see how nicely the AZL colors match.

Very nicely done. A couple of additional thoughts for showing these cars. The Lark was also a mail train and as such it would typically have more head-end mail storage, not necessary in Lark grey, but in Daylight and Pullman two-tone grey. Technically, what you've modelled is the San Francisco Lark. There was also an Oakland Lark that would be a baggage car, a couple of coaches and a sleeper, split from the main train in San Jose, routed through Niles. It was pulled by a GP9 in the later half of the 1950s. I'm not sure what was used for steam power prior to 1955. Mark Thank you, Mark, I tried to translate your comment about the Oakland Lark into some pictures; What do you think? The steam power would be interesting. May be even a Cab Forward? Best, Sven

Yes we will be present at Altenbeken in April. Not our usual type of show, since we will be featuring our working layout "West of Caliente". The event is April 14-15 in Altenbeken, Germany. It is only for Z scale and it is the largest gathering of Z scale worldwide. Great layouts, many have been featured on our User Forum. This event can easily be combined with Intermodellbau in Dortmund which starts on April 18. We hope to see as many of you as possible in April! Looking forward to meeting you, all, in Altenbeken next month ! Best, Sven PS: Here is a Video and some pics about AZL's "West of Caliente" for those who cannot come. azlforum.com/post/11662/thread
