Joined: 23/02/2011(UTC) Posts: 171 Location: Kansas, USA		I purchased a Glaskasten 36863 late last year. It is a nice little loco but it sounds like a coffee grinder when it is running. How so much motor noise can come from such a small loco is beyond me. Also, I don't know why Marklin even bothered with lights. They are ridiculously dim.
