Hello,

as you will see and has been widely discussed on the German forum http://www.drehscheibe-online.de there are very few really new models which are not variations of existing models. To be precise there are seven for H0: The three SNCF Corail coaches, the three silver suburban coaches of the DB and the five-car articulated double-deck train of the DR, which at EUR 399,- equates to EUR 79,80 per Coach which is a bit on the expensive side for me. I am not at all sure about TT and there are the V60 diesel and three three-axle coaches in G scale.

Personally I am a bit disappointed on one side but also feel a bit reliefed that at least Piko will not attack my model railway budget too much in 2009.

Kind regards

Christoph

Thanks for the link Steve - some nice items there too.

I think that this shows the state of the world economy.

Piko have done nothing that the rest of the manufacturers don't do, a few new models and a whole heap of repaints.

Still some nice bits in there, but nothing that leaps out and says buy me for by Wurttemberg DRG branch line.

Sorry to disagree but I thought it was quite a surprising and bold move by Piko.

Seven new models in HO, a major coup of a V60 in G plus support for TT with a BR151 for less than 60Eu for a minority player, that really is a good effort.

Don't worry about your branchline in Wuerttemberg, the lack of new models will give you the opportunity to build rather than buy something?

It's still 11 pages of new stuff to be fair

Although not a TT modeller the price of the ICE seems very reasonable.

Overall I think it's a sensible offering with the state of businesses in Euope and elsewhere.
