    Well it's finally here..

    Roco has bitten the bullet and produced the S160 in HO Gauge.
    3 versions offered..
    Austrian railways (Occupation zone)
    Chinese State Railway - not sure roco's done a chinese model before..
    FS Italian state railways version

    Also the rh109 is now being made in German railways version BR 38.41 (to join the Slovenia,Hungary, Italy and Austrian versions offered in the last 2 years).

    There's a definite outward looking by Roco in 2014, with a Hong Kong Electric BOBO (Based on a Swiss electric class), and the Dick Kerr 0-6-0 diesel (Class 08-alike) for NS has been re-tooled and offered in Victoria Railways (Australia) livery.
