There's brass, in this case quite a bit of it and drop-dead gorgeous. :admire:

there are more detailed pix on the Kiss website, and the model is astounding. Sadly it is waaaaay out of my pocket money, but we can all dream & drool :crying:

http://www.kiss-modellbahnen.de/harzbr995906.html If anyone buys it can I have a go?
 
That is a handsome loco!
 
.....And 300 Euros less than Kiss' new price!

Can someone confirm - is this exactly the same prototype that the forthcoming Trainline45 model depicts?

You may live a few miles away Jon BUT I am sure that I can hear the wallets moths beating their wings!!!
Go on you know you want it!
 
Pretty sure it is what Trainline are bringing out at a third the price (not brass though).
 
But ... that's more expensive than when sold new by Kiss.... Perhaps I should have bought a dozen or two as an investment!

BTW not the same as the TL45 model - that will be of the first batch of Harz Mallets; the Kiss model is of the second batch.

And almost certainly not as detailed, Kiss models do have exquisite detailing.
 
Your dead right Graham - just realised and came back to amend this thread but you have already corrected me. Thanks.:thumbup:
 
Does anyone have a link to the Trainline model with a pic? I could only find a thumbnail on their website.

Not the KISS one, Mike - though I DO plan to get the TL45 one! :bigsmile:

The Grootspoor website has a bigger picture (tho' close inspection suggests that it might just be a pic of the real thing - note the cabsheet) and quotes a price for both digital and analogue - at EUR 900 for the analogue, I'm very tempted even if it blows next year's budget.*

I'm impressed, if the production model is the same as the handbuilt one shown it will be real value for money.
It's here:

Subtly different prototypes..

99 5906 (the brass Kiss model in the ebay auction) is an all inside frame mallet, whereas 99 5901-4 (Live steamer from reppingen and the coming trainline model) are all mixed frame mallets (front unit inside framed, rear outside framed) of a similar sized but different class...

All in the nice to have category though.

Kiss have done both types of Harz Mallet. The original Kiss Harz Mallet, which was released about 5 years ago, IS the same as the one that TL45 are bringing out.
