Which of the two models by Fleischmann and Minitrix is the most accurate? It looks like F updated their version in 2003 with a NEM socket but not sure if they used new toolings for the body etc. Has anybody seen the variants side by side? thanks

First one looks a bit dirty from the pictures, but as long as everything works then a bit of dust is easy to clean off. Any help Simon?

Hi, I think I'll end up getting the Fleischmann version as it as a 6 pin NEM socket for easy fitting. The Minitrix version is out of production but I know a mail order place that still has stock.

Quite a good amount of info on various locos on wiki.
