Joined: 14/03/2005(UTC) Posts: 15,871 Location: Gibraltar, Europe		Tom, I think we'll have to agree to differ on this. I will continue to think of a Limited issue as limited when Marklin says it is. I believe it includes time-limited runs, even when that run can be quite large. The point is you have to pre-order it and you won't be able to buy a new one next year. I will accept that your definition is different to mine, in that you set an actual numerical limit on a "limited series", which is, according to your last post, in the order of a couple of thousand copies. This will, of course, make the model rarer.

As I am very found of old tin plate Marklin, I will answer that at the moment one of my rarest item should be the one I just bought which is a very nice red TWE 700 produced around 1938, I thought I will never have in my collection .

It's one of the few which made a world record pulling a tank car in a French model fair : As it has been numbered, I guess I can say that this model is unique Here another engine which was used at the same event, but it wasn't numbered.

I have the postal wagon, and a second, and third class coach. I have 2 older 4200 series tinplate coaches, one TEE with lighting and marker lights, and one DB in cream/blue.They go nicely with the br 103's. I wish I had the moving waiter dome coach, and the digital dance coach. I have a hammo 8356 croc, and a Roco Lfthansa airport express with a br 111, a Roco br 420/421 Frankfort suburban mass transit set, which looks a lot like the one "M" just came out with, and I have a Roco 40th. DB anniverary E71/donnerbuchsen set. A green Roco DR E91, a Roco museum edition grey E08, and a Fleischman "Amtrak" ICE. Lastly, A Jouef 325 KM/hr. record speed TGV "Atlantique", and an even older Lima orange TGV with double motor end cars. I have individual boxes for each car, and coach. I had the year 99 MHI all silver X11 DB Loc., but returned it, now am sorry.

Here are two I bought recently: Trix 22679 (my second Trix locomotive): According to German dealer Kieskemper (not the one I bought from) this model is limited to 190 copies. I haven't found other sources that confirm this. Märklin 37435: An I + S Eurotrain special item (earlier Eurotrain models are shown with "2000?" in Koll's Special Catalogue). And I have have one for some time already: Märklin 37656: RBH (first loco) was formerly known as RAG. Koll gives "500?" for this model (Conrad Electronic exclusive item).

Actually MHI orders these models and Märklin produces as many as MHI orders (I wouldn't call that limited series). The drawback: MHI dealers must order the complete package (all MHI models of a year) without even knowing what they order. Tom, I would call that a limited (37294) issue. I would agree that it is fairly limited because not all dealers order anywhere near the complete package of MHI. They are allowed to pick and choose among various scales and items. To a certain extent everything is limited! Nothing is produced forever, at least in current versions. I have a lot of items that were produced in the 100s, but are not particularly valuable because for whatever reason, because they are not desireable. I don't know whay some items are desireable, and others not, but if I knew..........................................!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's just say it would be good to have that foreknowledge.

Once demand falters, then production stops and that one-time run ends. Just a guess.

There were another 300 made for the Trix market. The digital engine came in a set with three car carriers, and silver plated models of the new S class of the time. There are 24 model cars included in the set. Here is one of them. regards Kimball

Joined: 30/11/2010(UTC) Posts: 725 Location: Stamford, CT USA		Great Italian coaches!! I rode in an Italian coach from Colon to Rome (16 hours) in the mid-80's. Half way through the Swiss Alps the lights went out...and stayed out....yep, took the St. Gotthard Pass in the dark. The tain master's comment on the situation, "Well, it IS an Italian coach after all." That about says it all. On the other hand, those first class coaches from Rome to Florence had a class and elegance that is beyond description. Venitian blinds between the window panes, velvet trim, the works.

Joined: 18/03/2007(UTC) Posts: 6,769 Location: Brisbane, Australia		Hi Sil, Very nice collection of Italian gear in what I call heavy metal. Thanks for sharing. There is something unique in the 4037 series. I have only a few, and the blue 346 series (Orient Express), but I treasure them. regards Kimball

I believe your picture illustrates well the three colours of the CCS 800/3015. If I am not mistaken from the front the colours are olive grun, tannen grun and blau grun. The distinctions have always confused me. Let me know if I am still confused. I have a 3015 (tannen grun), 30159, 3652 and a Roco Krok (69848). Those are beautiful beasts that you have.

		Why do grown men play with trains? Their wives insist they are insane But their dreams they won't let down the drain 'Cause there ain't no thing so hard to lose as those disappearing railway blues.

Maerklin's representation of the 4036/4037 is based on the coaches built in Italy, Germany, and some other european countries starting in 1946 and then again in 1955 with Marshall Plan funds to replace passenger car inventories destroyed in WW2. In Italy for many years, thru the 1950s, trains in local service often ncluded freight cars used to carry passengers due to the shortage of coaches.
