There is an interesting review of the Fleischmann DCC starter set in Model Rail this month.
The reviewer emphasises the quality of the product and the engineering throughout and makes the comment that starter sets are the lowest cost entry to DCC.
However at the end he very quickly states that the DCC starter set is £450 and warns that Fleischmann do not offer any OO UK outline products.
Hands up all those in the UK who will be rushing out to their local Fleischmann store to purchase a "low cost" Fleischmann DCC starter set?
Don't get me wrong they will sell a few sets.
That German who plays football for Chelsea might be interested!
Happy modelling

PS In saying all this Model Rail reported that a German recently spent £16500 on a damaged pre war Marklin OO scale British outline loco at a recent sale in Rugby. Those Germans are absolutely model train crazy I tell you and as far as model trains go money is no object!
The truth is though I wonder how much a Fleischmann DCC starter set would be if it was made in China? And how much a Hornby DCC starter set would be if was made in Germany?
