I was crazy busy where these were announced and I forgot to follow up. By the time I did they were long gone and I had missed my chance to own one. Maybe someday.

The article that was linked over here suggests it would be Vietnam, but I suspect a number of components, such as motors, would be sourced from China.

I have many Märklin models made in China which are fine in all respects. I do have a problem with BLI sourced models, which was why I asked the question.
