Not sure if there is a trix forum, But as far as I am concerned stayas it does not bother me and I am sure the rest of the membership. There are a lot of Trix devotees here and a lot of knowledge.

I'm trying to cut down a bit on my purchasing. Luckily there aren't that many "must haves" for me this year. But I will buy the Insider loco and waggons and also the E44 and the Dresden-waggons, but that's about it...

Hello,

First, under the premise that one can never have enough beige and red BR 103's, I am certain to purchase 37573. Besides I need a second digital 103, to go with the 12 car IC fleet (00776) on order from last year and the 37571 which I was lucky enough to find in stock at a German store last October.

Next, I must decide between a US/110v version of the starter set with a CS2, BR 50 and E50 (29500) or the starter set with the MS2 and a BR 81 (29539). The benefit of the CS2 set is it gives me two digital models that I need anyway. While the MS2 set leaves more money in the budget for decoders and additional rolling stock. Its only drawback is that I already have that BR 81 model! Likely I will purchase whichever becomes available at my US dealer first

Bye,

I like the TGV (maybe end of the year) and the double loc 37283 and the loc (now with sound) 37905.

Hi Ranjit,

Maybe it's because many of us already have a 3021. There are always many examples of 3021 on ebay as well, some in "as new" condition.

I'm very happy with mine, and it's very happy on my layout pulling tinplate coaches just like the ones in this year's new items!

I'm giving it some thought, even though I have the 3122 starter set from the 1970's, which came with a V200 loco and 3 tinplate coaches.

Not even the f7 Nev.

Hi Ray,

I presume your 3021 is the newer V220 (BR220) locomotive. Am I right?

I am speaking about the re-introduced Marklin original classic (3021, V200) issued between 1957 and 1989 with the "old red" colour scheme with "Deutsche Bundesbahn" on the side. The 30210 locomotive looks and feels as it did at the end of the fifties. Every time I see this locomotive, memories of my childhood come rushing in.

Cheers,
Ranjit

I agreed!

It is a lot of money Ari .
You should search for the best deal, but i know you will, cause i know that you can force the dealers to do what you like.

Yes Ranjit, mine is the last version of the 3021, but it is not too different. It is essentially the same model.

If you look on ebay you can find many examples of the earlier versions with "Deutsche Bundesbahn" on the side as well. That's why I believe not many people are interested in the reproduction. Also many will already have one of these from their own childhood.

I am sure there will be some buyers who want a brand new one, perhaps to replace one they spoilt or broke in their youth, or perhaps because they could not afford one first time round, but it always was quite a common model, so there are lots of original ones around still.

Ranjit,
It is sad to hear your outcome, sometimes some of us, drown in sorrow. when we 've lost a loved one.
I hope your new arrival will bring back all these fun years and you will be able to bury the past for once and forever.
What type of carriages will you use ?

Ranjit,

You'll find this under the Märklin website:

http://www.maerklin.de/d...uche%2Fproduktsuche.html

I'm really pleased to see all these wonderful "serious" Ep.V models, especially the Br140 in plain traffic red. Interestingly Roco are doing a new tooling AC version of this too.

It's also really good to see Märklin have listened and put the correct rectangular buffers on the Ep.V Ludmilla.

Cheers,
Peter.

They are our friends and they want the best for them.
Show no mercy Simo.

What will I buy this year? Nothing, no more room for HO. Even my Z is overflowing on the shelf. Not many US models anyway except on e-bay.

Cheers, Bob

I can't say for the whole of 2010, but in this first half of 2010 I aspire to buy:

1. Trix 22236 The Swiss eurocity powered rail car with 6 coaches
2. Trix 22340 Brown Swiss Krokodil
3. Trix 22093 LTE BR 185 Austrian Loco with some wooden boxcars
4. Trix 22772 BR 103 DB with 23478 and 23480 coaches
5. Trix 22577 Serie 18 SCNB loco with the 23408 TEE set.
6. Trix 22294 BR 294 Switching Loco.

and then we'll see....

This is my wish-list for 2010:

1) 39081 - German DB VT08.5, looks like a really great model
2) 37573- German Br 103.1 to pull the new (re-issued) Interregio coaches 43500-43503 + 43550 (from last year)
(Inspired by this photo: BR103.1 Interregio)
3) 30210 V200.0 + Tin plate coaches

Then my kids really liked the online TGV promotion video...so maybe Santa will come with the TGV this year....

I might change my mind during the year, as I did last year, and the year before, depending on reviews on this forum and
the German stummi-forum...

Oh, this is my first posting here in this forum. So I got back to the hobby 2 years ago (after 25 years). Have been doing the usual stuff in the mean time...youth,university, girls, beer, marriage, got 3 kids (boys aged 6-11)....and now (2 years ago ) daddy has introduced model-railroading for them. It cannot really compete with Nintedo Wii yet, but daddy plans to start building a permanent layout this year, so we will see how it goes.

So I must say that things have changed a lot in 25 years...to the better. I like the digital stuff, and the models
looks great now, with much more detail, especially the steamers, so I acquired 2 of the new tooling steamer models last year, with the ESU loksound decoder (BR 64 and BR 001). They are really great models.

For this year's models, I think the re-issued DB BR103.1 (now probably with proper ESU loksound) will be a good choice, based on the positive reviews of the current 37575 (E03 001) . I know that the BR103.1 is really area IV and the interregio (IR) is really area V, but it does not really matter...the only difference from the photo is really the new DB (Deutsche Bahn) logo, (which does not really look good on that old classic). I lived in Germany during the 90's and I travelled a lot with IR to visit my German girlfriend then (now wife), so I have some nostalgia for early era V,.....then the 30210 with tin plate coaches are also desirable. It cannot be compared with last years BR220 (V200 (39803)) (which I also got), ....but nice with the "DEUTCHE BUNDESBAHN" inscription and the small Märklin inscription in one of the lower corners of the locomotive

I agree that it is expensive. Same as all Marklin and model railroading in general.
This F7 does have 2 motors, MFX and full sound and three metal shells (simple old tool probably).
At $666 at Euromodeltrains it is about porportonal to anything else.

Eric

I have order 30210 and 00796 for €430.

Did anyone get the 26558 BR44 freight set?
