A good price as well. 277.30Euro (ex VAT), 37Euro Postage, 14.12Euro for a fitted 72270 328.24 Euro total (the listing price on this was 329.99) I thought it was a good deal.

That's a little over $400 real dollars - it's a pretty good deal..

It runs fine, until you turn the smoke generator on, then the loco stops and the lights flash. When it gets switched off everything runs fine again. Any ideas to what I have done wrong?

Maybe you didn't push it in all the way and the contact lid for the smoke generator touches something inside the loco. Or the boiler hit the contact lid and bent it down.

In the manual is also said that the name is 18230. Somebody at Marklin has dyslexia And mine has not running smoothly, as somebody said. This locomotive some times runs making little jerking

Joined: 23/09/2011(UTC) Posts: 240 Location: Campbelltown		Hi Tom, Thank you very much for your help. I hadn't pushed the unit all the way to the base, and it was causing a short circuit. I had to use an ice cream stick to push the smoke stack all the way up the flute. It was my first time fitting one so an error was bound to occur. Take care, Marc. Pictures will be found in my "My Layout" thread to avoid clutter here.

In fact, he seems to have a pile of them for 299 Euro (incl German VAT) - I ordered one from Joachim this Monday after reading this - and he has relisted another one... So, still a possibility to get this good-looker for a reasonably good price.
