Joined: 15/02/2004(UTC) Posts: 1,591 Location: Pennsylvania		here's some pictures of the new HO Aerotrain. Photos show it doesn't look to bad, but body is all plastic. If I had more $ to spend right now, I might consider it - and try to make it 3 rail, as not too likely to ever see it from Marklin. Its interesting looking, even if the real train was a flop. http://www.factorydirect..._campaign=labordayfollow http://www.factorydirect...tratorcolorschemeho.aspx

It is a fine addition to my US rolling stock, as the models match those from other car sets and starter set, but have different road names or (for the Pennsy boxcar) a different road number (click images for high-res versions): Nicely detailed; fragile, but that is unavoidable with this detailing I think: Jeroen

And thus new sounds (presumably) ... Juha, the choco tanker isn't really new - but one very detailed (and heavy) model. Surely matches and runs nicely with Thomas

Well, between release of #37991 and #37993 M has switched to another supplier of electronics. You can clearly hear this difference by comparing the sounds of D&RGW ALCO with SP ALCO. Thus I guess M's latest of the big ones may sound a bit differently. Still more stronger, that is. You're so right - a CHALLENGER were just nice [:p][:p][:p] BUT, though very similar to the BIGBOY - a (partially) new tooling were required, anyway ... And then let's take into account they got a huge pile of unsold BBs, still ... So my hopes for this beauty are rather limited.

My hopes for a Challenger are equally slim, but was hoping that Nikos was right when commenting on M reading this forum And perhaps they could get Lionel's tools for a bargain price ... Didn't realize the difference between the D&RGW and SP PA1's. Never had them on track simultaneously ... [:I]

I think they should also enter into some agreement with MTH or BLI to offer some existing locos as three rail. that way development cost is minimized, and they could offer a few US three rail locos they would never do otherwise. If they have had cooperative efforts before with the likes of Fleischmann and Brawa, then why not MTH?

Stick to German outline he says! I don't think he likes American models! Are you getting a 37993 John? You could double head with your 37991!
