Does anyone know which of these locomotives have: Better running characteristics (silence , best motor,low speed behaviour) Are more detailed according to the period ( as Br 05 is 3 cylinder which is the correct operation sound between the two?) Do you know any sites where i can buy one ? Thank you for your responses in advance!

Do you know any sites where i can buy one ? Thank you for your responses in advance! The 39052 is only available brand new to Insider Club members who have completed 20 years of membership. It is painted in a fictional steel blue paint scheme. You may be able to find a second hand model, they have been issued for at least 10 years. I did see one on a German auction site a little while back. IIRC the 39050 was also originally an Insider item for 2008. It is painted in the standard black/red livery. Again you may be able to find one on the second hand market. I think you will find there is essentially no difference between these locos. The only real difference is that the 39050 has a soft-sine motor with an original model mfx decoder, while the 39052 has a 5 pole high efficiency motor. Depending on the age of the model you find the decoder will be an msd or an msd/3.

Joined: 04/08/2018(UTC) Posts: 1,179		I'm probably biased but I also like my 39052 My 39052 is an early one with a first-generation mfx decoder. and probably with 1st gen "Marklin" new dc motors. I suspect that if you buy a recent one, you will find the latest gen mfx+ decoder inside, and with the "best" sound. Buying 39050 might be i little risky as it has an SDS motor and they are a bit more complicated to repair if you have trouble with the motor or driver electronics. but as long as they work they drive quite nicely.
