You mean pantographs. Two pantographs and a short snout aren't enough for distinguishing them from the German version - but colour is: the Germans could come in colors green, maybe silver, and maybe beige/blue; but only the RhB crocodile could have been brown (or red).

Which other colour but green!
That was the colour it had.

but I am also fairly certain, the snout was narrower than the cabin part of the loco.

However I will ask my brother for his comment, I am sure he remembers better.

Well, that almost settles it, though it could still have been a Seetal crocodile (see comment with images at bottom).

Oh, some good comes out of my pointless nitpicking - a family communication! :-)

Congrats to him!

Now he has an easy excuse to buy model trains :-)

Well, the new born is a girl, but the other one is a son, and he already showed me a new crocodile when I last visited...

:-)))

...and in the name of gender equality, why not give the girl one, too?

Especially considering that one of the preserved German crocodiles, 194 158, belongs to one Frau Barbara Pirch, who is also a locomotive driver!
