As I get new loks I will rotate them with some of these loks. There will be fewer pictures in subsequent months since I don't anticipate a large number of new loks. But I will, as well, rotate some of my existing collection with these loks.
The SBB V 200 diesel pulling a consist of double level coaches. This is an ESU lok with many functions including squealing sounds as it rounds curves and a realistic sound when it crosses a turnout. I really like the ESU loks on my layout. The CS3+ allows me to run them using the DCC protcol which has more functions than you get if you run the lok as mfx+ which you can also do.
This is a really great lok to see and hear on the layout. The whistle is distinct and powerful. The coaches that it is hauling are a perfect consist for this lok.

The control car of the City Bahn and a BR 111 electric City Bahn lok. These two City Bahn trains run on one of the three loops on the lower level. They can be operated without interfering with a train running on the down ramp to the helix.

A BR 218 diesel pulling a City-Bahn consist on the lower level. In the background is the control cab car of the S-Bahn that is pulled by the BR 111. These two consists are on the same lower level loop but the loop is so long that there is no problem keeping a large separation between them.
Yet another BR 218 in a different livery pulling a TEE consist on the inner loop of the upper level.
