<br />3318 DRG BR18.4 to go with my 4228 Rheingold set
Saw one of these at the weekend, the owner wanted $350 for it, a bit too much I thought. Of course Macca, you know you can pull the Rheingold with your BR01, in fact I believe the BR01 pulled the Rheingold more often than did the BR18.4!

Thanks Panayotis! By bringing my attention to the truck (it is nice isn't it?), you have made me realise how awful the little tree looks! I think I'll replace it with something nicer.
Kimball - Piko makes some nice stuff, though the detail is a bit fiddly. I have already lost one of the windscreen wipers, and the one at the end you see in the picture also keeps falling out. I am going to have to glue it in before I lose this one as well!
...and yes, the Ludmilla is a bit of a brute! I think it's one of the biggest locos in my collection.

I love the tree - it reminds me of the trees I had on my childhood layout back in the (shudder) '50's.
Truck is cool
Ludmilla - mmmmmmmmmmmm one day [:p]
and the VLB Desiro looks very flash.
Thankfully I'm not doing Era IV - V or I <u>WOULD</u> be broke....

Yeah I know I could use the '01 but all mine a DB Era III and I fancied a nice Era II loco.
Nice price too so I am happy.
That and the ETAT will make a nice pair - promise that piccies will follow. |

Beautiful ETAT loco - I did not know that Marklin did that one.
Hi Kimball, Neither did I, stumbled across it by accident. Has a 6080 decoder so an upgrade is on the cards at some stage but still runs beautifully. Looking forward to comparing it with the 3318. |

Ray says... Quote:[size=1" face="Verdana" id="quote]quote:....how awful the little tree looks! I think I'll replace it with something nicer What you do is get someone to chop it down at Christams time. It will only be a few weeks away, so it will be gone for a realistic reason. Everything has to be <u>realistic</u>, on a model train layout. The other way is to decorate it every Christams. But getting scale 1:87 tree lights may be a problem. Maybe Märklin are already working on these as new items 2009. I think this post should be put in a new topic, as it will take on a life of its own. regards Kimball |

Finally my 103 has arrived at my dealer. I've been waiting a long while. I was surprised when I got there that the newly released SNCB Series 25.5 was also waiting. A great day but an expensive one. Here they are. JonnyMac

Nice locos Jonny. The 103 is a beauty isn't it, and that Belgian electric is unusual, with it's single pantograph.
Tony, love the S 3/6 in brown. It would look great with the old Primex orient express coaches!

That would be really awesome, standing at track level.

Wow, beautiful Nev, congrats!
Came to think of it, whenever this topic pops-up I promise myself to do an inventory ... couldn't get around it yet. Maybe this weekend. I think I'm up to 60+ locos now ... but re-organizing my collection and layout so I'm selling some ... and guess what: end up buying even more [xx(]
Will this come to an end?

They show up frequently at swap meets, but at too high a price. This one is like new and is in the original analog. Hardly been run, no blemishes on the surface. Much better than some I have seen at meets offered at a much higher price. |
