ESU Removes “Pullman” Line RhB ABe 4/4 III & DFB Plattformwagen from Website

While ESU is mainly known for its “LokSound” DCC decoders and other electronics products, they also have the “Engineering Edition” line of products that brings high fidelity locomotives to the H0 scale market.

In G scale, ESU released some products in the past under the “Pullman” line. Previous Pullman releases include the RhB ABe 4/4 III EMU, the RhB Tm 2/2 switcher, and a set of hopper cars for the RhB/MGB/FO.

Unfortunately, in the last years, ESU kept postponing the release date of a new batch of the ABe 4/4 III & Tm 2/2. Basically every quarter that passed, the expected delivery date got pushed back by another quarter.

ESU has now completely removed the ABe 4/4 III and DFB Plattformwagen from their website.
