Following up my postings about the styling of new German
locomotives and Diesel LRVs.

I have scanned the following pictures from the magazine
Modelleisenbahner 5/1995:

DBAG101.jpg  model of the future electric InterCity locomotive
             class 101 of the Deutsche Bahn AG (originally
             light-grey/orient-red/medium-gray)
DBAG424.jpg  drawing of the future electric S-Bahn Hannover
             class 424 of the Deutsche Bahn AG (originally
             light-grey/salmon-orange/pastel-yellow)
DKB_RVT.jpg  the new Diesel LRV Duewag RegioSprinter of the
             D�rener Kreisbahn (originally white/blue)

You can find them on the FTP server mercurio.iet.unipi.it in
/pub/www/liveries, or at http://mercurio.iet.unipi.it/liveries/
<filename>. Sorry for the bad picture quality. I currently only 
have access to a 256-greyscale scanner using red light, so what
is red in the original picture becomes bright in the scan, what 
is blue becomes black. Also the original pictures were very
small, I scanned at 600 dpi and then the reduced picture size by
half, using smoothing - I still couldn't get rid of the news-
paper-like raster. Also the pictures appear a bit reddish which
might be a bug of PMJPEG. Because of the bad quality, please
don't put these pictures on other servers (I hope to make better
ones once I have real photos and a color scanner). I have made
them mostly because I had several requests, for giving those who
are interested an impression of the shape of these new trains
(the 101 and 424 are currently just started to be built, the
first RegioSprinter is out since March). I plan to take the
pictures off the server as soon as better images are available.
