So open forum who recommends which of the above? is either one better than the other? Do you owe one or both of the above and what are your thoughts? Thanks for your thoughts BR Glenn

The sound is not state of the art. The motor of the 37803 might be audible when digital sound is on. I like the big C Sine the 39821 has. Very smooth runner. Don't expect too much from the sound. Quiet motor: both SDS and C Sine. Better sound: mfx decoder. IMHO the 39803 is a very good choice - if you don't mind the incorrect labels (BR 220 instead if BR V 200.0).

The problem with the V200 is there are so many variants to think about.......... I think in view of the new model being released the 37805, this is 1958, same as the 'Blauer Enzian', mfx sound, and from what I know the five pole motor is okay. I think I will add the 39821 to a wish list for next year......................... I hope I have chosen wisely and thanks for all your thoughts. BR Glenn

Ian, I wish I could, but I already asked Santa for too much...................................so much in fact he wrote back and told me I was a greedy little boy BR Glenn PS: I have even asked Brenden to ask Santa for Marklin this year
