I've just spotted that a store in America is taking orders for the RIVAROSSI HR2050 DB 4-axle BR230 diesel in burgundy DC Digital Sound
(HO scale) Four axle diesel locomotive class BR 230 of the German Deutsche Bundesbahn DB railways in burgundy livery. Model is equipped with digital sound decoder for realistic sounds of this type of locomotive. Epoch III, Digital complete with sound, metal chassis, bi-directional lights, length: 233mm for $264 or £132 at current exchange rates. Looking at the Rivarossi prices for locos more generally in the USA it has to be said that they are at a lower price than Roco and almost half the price of Fleischmann. In fact British outline Hornby in the USA could be said to be more expensive than continental Hornby Rivarossi! Relatively speaking it does seem that the Americans are enjoying Rivarossi at bargain prices!
Happy modelling
