Allegra !
This denotation of the Rhaetian Railway's ABe 8/12 is a rhaetoromanian salutation which translates best to something like "Rejoice !".
Joy was quite dampened though when the model's digital variant was found under the tree for Christmas 2013, delivering a quite miserable performance regarding its functions in analogue mode.
The object was sconced with inobservance until... a new decoder, i.e. Massoth's XLS-M1 appeared at the horizon, promising radical help: The vehicle was expected to act as known from previous LGB vehicles in analogue operations.
Improving the existent interiors' design and its completion was tackled, Massoth's XLS M1 decoder was integrated (Thanks once again towards Dormagen - "Twelve Points !") and the tuning meassures were successfully completed lately...
First ride after the model spent almost two months on the laboratory table...
Some paint makes the tractive units' roof looking a bit more like its prototype
Hoses and fittings got a prototypical paint and one hook was replaced with a screw coupling
View into an entrance area with hints, extinguisher, waste bin flap, compartment door...
The interior is looking a bit more prototypical now.

A complete description of the steps which are necessary for this detailing can be found in the project area.
