We can also see inside the cab which is cool. When I think of Siemens I think of the color gray because they make electrical panels for homes and businesses which are always gray here in the US.
Great bit of detective research Mr Nigels
It really does seem like a stunningly good collectible that is for sure, I found a wiki for the Siemens electric/diesel loco's and it lists probably 50+ from all the usual suspect manufacturers like Pico, Fleischmann, Roco as well as some I've never heard of which sound like special production runs and even they don't have this one listed so it does seem as though it is something to be cherished so I will keep it in its 'tube' for now. But I don't think I'm likely to see another example of this loco in the grey livery unless another of these collectible versions comes up for sale in the future
Happily collecting things all my life...
