I already have the 37116 version; I can't afford a second one. I have a couple of different Roco units in wishlists around the traps.

QUOTE (Babz)I Favour the Roco one as my Budget for anymore big red and Blacks has run out. Sadly I have Plenty of running stock. Babz
Sounds familiar. I have plenty of running stock now also, strangely, not sad about this at all.
This is also the first year where I have only bought on pre-orders. Most were Brawa freight cars, so that probably consumed the cost of one loco anyway...

Hello,
For the timeline 1922-1924, I would think that this loco (S3/6?) should have the word 'BAYERN' on the tender instead.
Generally speaking, a DRG black and red from any of the express classes BR01-BR19 would be suitable; with the bigger 231 pacifics being more so.
So, for me, the Roco 18.4 shown earlier would be the one to go with.
You might like to do some research on the Gruppenverwaltung Bayern. If the period 1919-1925 wasn't confusing already, GVB just throws another spanner into the works.

QUOTE (6991 @ 26 Nov 2015, 05:40) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Hi Babz,
I really think that the Roco loco you picture is from the pre-1914 era, so not quite exact for the blue coaches, although it would 'do' from a distance.
If you really want a green one, I would definitely say that the Fleischmann loco 411902 would be a better fit if you want it exact. This loco is one of series 'k', delivered in November/December 1923. Also it is a model of loco 3687 (later 18 486) and after delivery it was allocated directly to Nuremberg Hbf so would almost certainly have pulled your train at some stage (I would bet my house on it). Moreover, the Fleischmann loco is finished in the in the running condition from 1924 or so, so really exact - the Trix coaches they say are 1924-1928.
This would be a really cute match.
Hope this helps.

What he said, plus those green FLs are being run out at about 25% off, currently EUR360 for the sound version

A purchase from earlier this year, Brawa's 47822 (2014 issue).

Brawa 47817. Whilst I got it about 6 months ago, it was released a few years back now.

An unplanned purchase, but when Brawa says "50% off"; I say "yes".
I am focussing on smaller car puchases now anyway.

A 3rd class to match the previous post.
iPhotos don't work well.

hello,
Maybe not that model; the one I was thinking of is 411903/411973. This is marked as a DRG loco, not Bayern. So, I'd guess a slightly later timeframe. Still a few around, but not everyone is passing on the discount. I missed the Bayern version; I expect that by the time I get the money, all the DRG versions will be gone also. Normally what happens...
I think the general consensus is that the Roco is perfect for the job.

Hello,
The '7' has a sound chip. Otherwise the same, methinks.

Hello,
Here's another one that I got around June.
I haven't bought very much this year. I'm very happy with the few items I have got. Glad to see others getting some enjoyment as well.

This is my only Swiss loco. I haven't bought any new locos for a while and this was one in the last batch, so maybe 'recent'. I now have quite a few Swiss freight cars, but no passenger.

Hello,

The last of my 2015 Brawa catalogue freight cars arrived today. This completes a very modest purchasing year.
There is a set of 3 DRG passenger cars on order ; but I'm not sure that they'll be available before next year now.

Brawa 48024



Brawa 48022



I paid a premium, the full retail price (48.50) without VAT deducted; from a major outlet in Utrect NL.
What I got was the display model that wasn't repacked correctly, resulting in some minor damage.

Anyway.

I got these in June, but haven't opened them. I'll replace the images with better ones, once I actually find them.

Brawa 47860



Brawa 47833

Hello,

I had planned on replacing the images I posted earlier; I have just been sidetracked for a while. I'll get back to that soon. Meanwhile, here is my only loco purchase for 2015. I already have several KWStE locos and was planning on getting this as the Tn version, However, economic rationalism won the day (there's a term you haven't heard for a while...).

QUOTE (Greyvoices @ 17 Dec 2015, 00:06) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>I suspect that there may be quite a few of these sets on dealer's shelves because not many will be modelling the Rostock area.

Hello,
I agree.
I'm hoping that their Mitropa pack will be discounted in next year's sales. Although dealers seem to be selling those easily enough.
This set reminds me of the Sydney double deckers in a similar paint scheme, from the mid-seventies.
