Joined: 28/11/2007(UTC) Posts: 7,904 Location: Montreal, QC		Here are a few models I am still hoping will come from Roco when they announce their new items in a week or so and if they don't, I definitely wish for these models as Summer, Fall, Winter or 2025 New Items: 1) Railpool SBBCI Vectron "Silverpiercer" - This model has already been announced by Piko, but would like to see it come from Roco so that most of my Vectrons come from the same bloodline https://www.bahnbilder.d...pool--railpool-gmbh.html There is a chance that Roco or LSM will opt for the 193 110 "Zugersee" which has a special livery and is known as the "Goldpiercer" due to Zug's global role in the Gold market. https://www.bahnbilder.d...-dgs-richtung-basel.html 2) SBB Cargo Re 484 004 - This locomotive has been advertising SBB's Fleet Maintenance Facilities and Capabilities (Instandhaltung) https://www.bahnbilder.d...hfaehrt-am-22052023.html (A Re 4/4II was also painted with the same livery) 3) SBB EWIV (AS, A, B and EC Bt) in the new corporate livery. https://de.wikipedia.org...IV_(Door_Comparison).png 4) IFW/Lineas Sgns with Ferrymasters 45' Container 5) Sersa/Rhomberg Re 420.503 (ex-Travys/ex-BLS/ex-Swiss Express) https://www.bahnbilder.d...ruar-2023-hatte-die.html 6) SBB EWII AB NPZ mit Schwingtüren mit richtigen Positionierung von den blauen und weissen Bänden http://www.railfaneurope...1-05-2006_Locarno-03.jpg MfG Mike C

In general more era I and II, and also a green or blue A4:)
		C-track, temporary layout. I try to run my locos as much as possible:)

Kimball Which Marklin wheels did you use? I'd like ot replace the plastic wheels on mine. I'm looking at 3D printing a close coupling mechanism for mine.

Hello Alan, I used the standard AC wheelset from Märklin, E700150, 24.4mm axle length. These are quite loose in the Playcraft bogie but I have not had any drop out. They are not cheap, but I did also have some from modellbahnradsatz.de which are a better price. I don't think the lady sends overseas, but I have daughters in Europe can send them on. Kimball

Kimball Thanks Kimball. I'm not surprised they are loose, I checked the length of the fitted axles, and they are 25.5mm across the needle points, so that is 1mm of play.
