To that end, I have Piko, Roco, Fleischmann, Brawa, Trix (they're converted!), Lilliput and Baur

Joined: 28/11/2007(UTC) Posts: 7,892 Location: Montreal, QC		I am not what I would consider a Maerklin collector, but a collector of Swiss trains. It just happened that my first European train set was made by Maerklin. My collection includes: Hag, Roco, Fleischmann, Lima, Rivarossi, Liliput, ADE, Heris, RailTop, LS Models, ACME, Jouef, Sachsenmodelle, Tillig, KombiModell, Kleinbahn, Klein, Piko and many others, including Kleinserien manufacturers like Wabu, Friho, Hui, Eyro, Alpnacher, Lemaco, etc. If a model is crap or runs like crap, I probably won't buy it, even if it is a train that I would like to have in model. If a model is made for 3 rail AC or can be operated on 3 rail AC, then I will consider it for my collection. I love Swiss trains because you can find such a vast selection of domestic and international cars and coaches behind Swiss (and today international) locomotives. Regards Mike C

I have a Bemo item that came in a Märklin box, so I should add that brand, too. Some people are disappointed by other brands - this can happen if you use Märklin close couplers and/or "DC" wheel sets. Using other brands may require some research, but IMHO it is well worth it.

Locos : Hag, Roco and Piko . Rolling stock : one Faller container wagon that came with the Faller container terminal set; one two-wagon bins set that pick up from the ash pit crane. All the rest of my locos, emu's, dmu's and rolling stock are Märklin with a very little Primex Regards, PJ

My Roco, Piko, and Fleischmann 3-rail digital locos can also run on 3-rail analogue layouts. Some even have sound on analogue layouts (optionally). If your locos are digital ex works then they should also support analogue operation. It's OK if you do not run them because they are not Märklin. But you can still run them even if they are not analogue.

Freight cars have been Marklin but I like a lot of the Brawa rolling stock (freight). No one can beat Marklin when it comes to the locos, especially if you are using a CS2! I am tempted by a several Brawa locomotives but have not strayed from the congregation as of yet!

What a collectible item that is. I guess it is HO. I recently acquired a CIWL restaurant coach in HO done by BLZ. It is a bit furry, but I am gradually tidying it up with some judicious touches. regards Kimball

Joined: 27/10/2004(UTC) Posts: 893 Location: Burney, CA		Mostly Märklin, of course. Brawl make a lot of Era 2 rolling stock, so I have quite a bit of that and a few of their engines. It's such fiddly stuff that I rarely run it. I love HAG and have around ten engines and half a hundred or more pieces of rolling stock. I'd likely have more, but it's getting very hard to find. Very solid quality. Does Trix count? No engines, but a bunch of rolling stock converted with A/C wheel sets. I have one Fleischmann Lok. Nothing at all from Roco. Many years ago I had a couple of their Loks, but was very dissatisfied with running abilities, so I sold them. Not a fan at all of Roco rolling stock.

I have these items from other manufacturers: Roco SBB C 5/6 AC digital. Another a little different SBB C 5/6 AC digital 43872 coming soon. Roco DB V 200 035 AC analog 43928 coming soon. I have around 20-30 Roco freight wagons. Liliput SBB A 3/5-700 AC digital. Liliput SBB Ae 4/7 AC analog. Liliput Rheingold wagon set. Rivarossi DB 18 528 AC analog coming soon. Röwa a few passenger wagons. Schicht a few passenger wagons. Trix one passenger wagon set. In my opinion many of these other manufacturers items are really nice and run great, but some of them are so detailed that they get too easily damaged... Cheers, Janne

Joined: 01/02/2004(UTC) Posts: 7,340 Location: Scotland		After Marklin I now only buy Brawa. I have in the past had Fleischmann and Roco and HAG. Gave up HAG as they are not available now in the UK and the price is ridiculous for what you get. I agree with Mike on Swiss outline and of course Faller etc do lots of Swiss kits. Brawa detail is very good and the locos run well but for me Marklin comes first. Never keen on those manufacturers who don't make track or controllers as they live off the others who provide us with essentials. Just my view.
		Take care I like Marklin and will defend the worlds greatest model rail manufacturer.
