As mentioned Harrie Kaffa produced a number of RTR models of the LTM 51. I am not aware of the number of models produced but it can't be very much as a have never seen a model on shows, on eBay or anywhere else. Via the modeller that kindly provided me with the etches I also received photos of one of the Kaffa-built models. This loco is like the Holy Grail of Dutch modelling: everybody seems to know the legend that they exist but nobody seems to be able to produce proof let alone actually show one. Well, here is the definite proof.
