MBW announced this morning the class 24 for gauge 1. It is to have the equipment of MBW's class 56.

It took Spur 1 Austria almost exactly one year from the (second) announcement of the E 71 to delivery. The compact electric locomotive is presentable and inventive. 80 large format photos show all facets and the qualities of this Prussian locomotive model, whose prototype was last in service with the Deutsche Bundesbahn in South Baden.

The E 71 from Spur 1 Austria is well done. A little preview.
