		Matt Era 3 DB lokos, coaches and freight cars from across Europe But I do have the obligatory (six) SBB Krocs ECoS 50200, all FX and MFX decoders replaced with ESU V4s, operated in DCC-RailCom+ with ABC brake control. With the exception of the passenger wagens with Marklin current conducting couplers, all close couplers have been replaced with Roco 40397.

Faller prices can be sky high, but usually that's for the 1950 and 60 kits or for 1950/60 'Fertig modelle'. (models built by Faller home workers). It's how you look at it, compared to 'Creglinger' or 'RS Spitaler' model buildings, Faller is cheap ! Marco

It's how you look at it, compared to 'Creglinger' or 'RS Spitaler' model buildings, Faller is cheap ! Marco Back in the 90's I purchased some exclusiv kits. First was the Foundary B-981 in 1984 In 1985 came Ferris Wheel B-311, this one included the lighting for the gondolas. At the time I did not realise that this was to be the first of a long series of Fairground/Circus kits to be released by Faller but the wheel is the only one I got. It is an extremely fragile item and really need This line of products noted a distinct new line of products for Faller and coincided with other changes going on in the Company. 1986 I got the awesome Cathedral B-350. I also have the "The Bridge on the River Kwai" B-568 re-release of the 50's kit but I don't think this was an 'exclusiv' model as such. All remain un-built and even then they were quite expensive.

At one stage I was so exasperated with the company I worked for I was going to tell them I was going to go and work at the BMW dealership I owned ... course I wasn't going to tell them it was at a 1:87 dealership ...

I can understand that a rare kit might cost you more to buy because of the principle of supply and demand, but I would never consider buying a kit for it's potential future value. I would be too tempted to just go ahead and build it!
