Thanks for the comments everyone.
I have certainly been impressed with the Trix purchases, the weight and quality of that loco is very good, sounds great and I liked the fact that the smoke generator has its own function on/off ,
(don't know if that is the norm) I know some members don't like smoke so much and its nice to be able to turn it off, I have always been a devotee of Fleischmann (and if they had an Orient Express set I would
probably have gone with that, but could not find one), but the few Fleischmann locos I have with smoke added, it has to be turned on and off with the lights

The coaches are impressive as well and once I get some passengers in them, will look even better.
Hi redo, thanks for the nod, but I am already aware of that set and Pierre Dominique has it much cheaper, so I may be tempted, even though their shipping process was a bit of a let down, I got the 24795 set
eventually

The 22183 BR 18.1 came from A & H , it was the last one he had, and they seem to be rarer than rocking horse poo at the moment

I don't think that that is the case. Simba Dickie now owns the Marklin, Trix and LGB brands. They took over in 2013/2014, I think.

Good Morning Everyone, Arriving today Roco Br218 DC & Br210 DCC Sound. These are just for General Hauling Namely CMX Track Cleaning Duties They were Very Cheap in my opinion FRom MSL. Babs
Hello, I'm kind of excited and super stoked about my recent purchase. This last weekend I was bidding on some Fleischmann cars which I ended up winning so to fill the box I added some more cars and an analog diesel loco from Roco. The next day after I paid, I recieved an email saying that the loco I chose is no longer available so I went looking for a replacement and found an SBB InterregioCargo Re 4/4 II AC Digital w/sound for less than the analog diesel. I've had my eye on this locomotive since it came out but didn't want to pay the full asking price. This must be my best deal of the year.

Thanks Reddo, the detail does look really good with the PE wipers and such and it is Ep VI. I'm not that big into freight trains but I found a couple of pics of this loco pulling an EC passenger train so that sealed the deal.

Thanks Babs, I think the rich orange color will stand out in the mostly red sea of modern electrics.
