They manufacture everything in China which bothers me a bit but I guess we have to get used to everything being made there... Anyway the video they have on their website is really cool and guess what: pretty much all you see in the video are Swiss Re 6/6! In red, green and Cargo liveries. Nice! Thanks for the education on that. Cheers,

I used parts from a Marklin 7164 slider to rebuild it an make it quiet. My Re 4/4 came with a metal body, an ESU LP, and warm white Led's...it is one of my favorite loks!

I was very suspicious when order my first, and so far only, model from Rivarossi an Ae 3/5 from SBB. Honestly I was nicely surprised when I got it! Finely detailed, felt heavy, not the light plastic piece of junk I was kind of expected. Like you I catch myself really liking that model a lot! By the way I just looked at your link, very nice layout you have and of course I love the TEE!!! Cheers "neighbor",

Locomotives should always have a number starting with a 3 (3xxx, 3xxxx), unless from a set, then it may start with 2 (2xxx, 2xxxx). Normally 7xxx denotes some kind of accessory. -Brandon

You can see some more details here: http://www.ajckids.com/products/Marklin/37567 The link is to provide information, my intention was not to discuss dealers in this thread (although IMO this is a good one). -Brandon

Joined: 22/12/2011(UTC) Posts: 59		Good morning everyone, Does anyone has information on the old Marklin RE800? I can see it going for all sorts of prices on EBay, from cheap to outrageous... How do we recognize a rare one from a not so rare one? What to look for etc... Thank you and have a great weekend! Cheers, Bassecourt2854 attached the following image(s):

Joined: 09/12/2011(UTC) Posts: 2,533 Location: VA		Alain, I'm not sure about the specifics of RE800, but most of the models produced in the 50s seem to vary in price according to condition and presence/condition of the box. On Ebay I see a lot of these old models with very optimistic buy it now prices (often very high). It could be a mix of that and models hitting open auction. If you don't get any more response about this model, you may want to start another thread in collector's corner specifically about the RE800. There are a few members here who are very knowledgeable about this, but may have overlooked it here. -Brandon

It featured a very complicated drive mechanism, and due to this the model was first replaced by the RES 800 and later by the very popular RET 800.

Guss  I need a lot more education on this one! Thanks for the reply
