Here's a picture of my humble Star Wars fleet: From left to right: Skywalker, Organa, R2D2 There are more in 1:1 scale: Kenobi, Solo, Calrissian, and Yoda (but I haven't seen any H0 models of those yet).

Same livery, but three different moulds. Didnt know anything about that... But judging from your photo; The Märklin one seems the LEAST detailed. It appears that many details and prints are missing. Is that correct? Also wondering; You mention that the Trix is plastic. So the Märklin is not? Can you tell if Trix and M. uses two different moulds? (Seems strange that they would not save cost here...) Impressive collection! ;-)

The Trix model is a different mould for the same loco, with a plastic body and more accurate details added. I believe this year's new models from Marklin include a couple of the Trix toolings modified for AC and marketed under the Marklin label.
