Was it like this Adrian ?

The class 605. Actually, Roco makes it in several different liveries both the DSB Blue and the one on your picture (DSB ICE), at some point there was a DB AG version as well.

Yes, Mike you are correct. My failing memory.............

BR18 323

Newly rebuilt boiler different from IV h that Marklin has released.

Marklin has made a lot of the same locomotives with different design in the same or different era as BR45 020 / 45 010 (new boiler with witte deflector). I look forward to seeing the new boiler of BR18.3 next year.

Hi Shannon, the 16.323 looks a very interesting loco.
I am curious as to how many cylinders it had? Does anyone know?
Jay

4 cylinders in 18 323, the same as other 18.3.

The difference is 2 inner cylinders of 18 323 are designed to push the first pair of driving wheels , the outside cylinders push the second pair of driving wheels. the other 18.3 with 4cylinders push the send pair of driving wheels only.

The ferries between Helsingør and Helsingborg have stopped taking trains in 2000 as the Øresundsbron (Öresund bridge) was opened. The bridge has two levels on top a motorway and below a double track railway. The ferries shown in earlier posts with an ICE with DSB logo driving onto the ferry at Puttgarden (Germany) is still in operation. Work on a tunnel linking Puttgarden and Rødby (Denmark) is starting. It will be a tunnel with a motorway and a double track railway.

I thought that I would dip into this topic one more time…

1) What I would like to see is more organized consists, and by that I do not mean sets with specific destination signs ala 43306/43307, but rather planned releases so that modellers can build their consists, meaning that the releases would include those coaches reasonably required to compose a specific consist (by era).

This would mean that Maerklin would do things like release a matching second class coach to go with the SBB Eurofima Am, either the Bpm 1979 (Bpm RIC Z1) or the earlier Bm 1972 (RIC).
It would also mean that Maerklin would release the Avmz111, Avmz207*, Apmz121, WRmz132/135, Bm234/235, Bvmz185 and Bpmz291* coaches in blue/beige, IC85, red/white and white/red liveries. (*and variants).
The same would apply for Austrian, French, Italian, Dutch, Belgian and so on, including night train coaches.

The bottom line is that Maerklin should make sure that there are no orphan coaches in the collection (without matches).

2) Bring back the interior dividers for compartment partitions. The new coaches might be better, but the interiors are not.

3) The company lost a lot of sales to other companies who make models with more realism. You did not lose me because I wanted ultra fine details. You lost me because your models did not have enough detail. Increase the detail to make a better toy. I am not asking for a perfect reproduction, just one that looks as good as it can and not a basic model that leaves wanting.

4) I would love to see the following new items for 2016 or 2017:

Sleeping cars T2S: DB DSG, DB TEN, SBB TEN, FS TEN and FS Treno Notte XMPR (282mm)
Couchette cars: SNCB I6 Bcm (Eurofima), DB Bcm246, NS Bcm (ex-DB), FS Bc UIC and Treno Notte (282mm)
FS Express Set (like Trix 23414 but Az/Bz/Bz) but with UIC markings (era IV) (maybe Holland-Italien Express)
