Interesting. Well, I guess the hopper wagon will go with the loco which appears to have been pushed back to January or February.

In an email received from a dealer i also had notification that the new items will be announced on January 7th. Now I'm not sure if this is just the dealers road show or if the NI brochure will be available then.

Edit: I wrote something and deleted because I already know the answer...

You can preorder them from Matschke if you don't want a trip to Germany, or try ordering them direct from the Marklin Store.

I have the "CCS 700" and I really like it. I also would like to have a TWE 700, but there is a difference between both, that is the CCS 700 was never in production, while the TWE 700 was.

It is not the samething to have a replica of something that was only a lab pre-production sample or to have a replica of something that existed.

The TWE 700 that were produced at the time are hard to find, are usually not in good condition and are very expensive, so it may make some sense to have a replica...

About the price we can think in the 399 euros of the CCS 700 as a reference.

In the begining of CCS 700 sales it seemed there were not many samples for sale, but few time after, the opposite was found. It is still available for sale. It means the CCS 700 is not increasing value and so we can expect the same will happen for the TWE 700. It will be nic just to have something looks like what existed long ago.

where does one find information or images about the (new) TWE700? Admittedly not for me, but I'm curious what it looks like

Yes, I had that same info from a different dealer (see post 2).

They seem to be very inclusive. Probably they don't want some animals are more equal than the others...

I think the screws are to push the brushes to rigght position, but other members of the forum can give a more precise answer.
