But I do understand where you're coming from, there is a lot to be admired about those steam spewing, coal guzzling, hissing wheezing and farting black monsters!

One dealer offers the loco for Euro 180 (incl. VAT), on eBay it often sells for less than Euro 160 (incl. VAT).

So it's a #39180, but with a different livery, different (cost-optimized) motor, different (cost-optimized) sound decoder. And the holes for the screws have been moved. Some SDS lovers tried to combine the shell of the 37745 with the SDS motor of 39180/1 - but no luck. Besides the moved mounting holes, it's the same mould as #39180/1.
