Does anyone have pictures of the production version of the MTH Dispolok Taurus? I found this picture but for what I understand, it is a pre-production version. I want to know if MTH eventually painted the front silver. I know they did some changes like add a third pantographs were prototypical. I have a set of their modern kesselwagens, which I like quite a bit, that need motive power. Thanks for the help!

I thought this question deserved an answer, so I went to the website of the Lokschuppen Hagen-Haspe hobby shop; they take their own photos of what's in stock, and their photos* do show an MTH machine, r/n 012, with the silver front [ or "bib", if you will ]. It is a two pan machine, as is the prototype**, I believe.
With best regards, SZ
*they take multiple photos with different views
**Edited to add: In the sense this unit , 012. Some other locos in this series and paint scheme are fitted with a third pan.
This particular loco went into the [ mostly ] black scheme in 2013, incidently.
Steinzeit, thank you for taking the time and helping me out! I went to the site and checked it myself. Good to know about it for reference.
