Joined: 29/12/2013(UTC) Posts: 147 Location: Seattle, WA		After riding the Regio from Esslingen to Goppingen for three days during the Treff, I decided to add that to my collection. What I want is a red Br 146 with metal body and sound. The closest I could find is the Brawa 43921. I want to couple that with M 43570 and 43571 with LED lights. That will be very close to the train I rode. I'm 100% Maerklin so this is new territory for me. BTW, I have M-track and MS2. Will I be able to exercise all the functions in the Brawa BR 146? Any suggestion and comment are greatly appreciated. Thanks, T

It has the metal body and a good amount of sound effects you're looking for. I just checked a few North American dealer websites and it appears AJCKids has it in stock: http://www.ajckids.com/trains/d...r=Marklin&item=37465

Any suggestion and comment are greatly appreciated. Thanks, T Hello Seattle, enough from Boeing planes? Very good - what do you think about the following links to a BR 146 - all from Maerklin? https://www.reynaulds.co...ducts/Marklin/37465.aspx https://www.maerklin.de/...s/details/article/29478/ https://www.maerklin.de/...s/details/article/37465/ https://www.reynaulds.co...ducts/Marklin/43570.aspx https://www.reynaulds.co...ducts/Marklin/43571.aspx The coaches are still immediately available. The loco either from Fleischmann or take the one from the start-up segment from Maerklin https://www.maerklin.de/...s/details/article/36623/ https://www.reynaulds.co...ducts/Marklin/36623.aspx The start-up does also get a mfx decoder inside, only outside you have this fancy design. Or you take the brandnew BR 187.1 TRAXX AC 3 https://www.maerklin.de/...te/details/article/36630 Finally nothing to buy, but some information about the BR 146 http://www.modellbau-wiki.de/wiki/BR_146 M-tracks and MS 2 are fine for a use by all H0 coaches and AC digital locos. The coaches originally for use with DC, should get a new set of wheels for using on AC. Because the DC wheels are insulated against the axle, which is not the case for AC wheels. regards TEEWolf

I have gotten several older but new in the box beauties from them, since they carry quite a large inventory and often have items not found at smaller dealers. In addition to that they are very nice people who will treat you very, very well and they sell at competitive prices.
		Regards, Jim I have almost all Märklin and mostly HO, although I do have a small number of Z gauge trains! So many trains and so little time.

Joined: 28/11/2007(UTC) Posts: 7,890 Location: Montreal, QC		The 37465 is an AC version of the Trix BR 146. I have several of the similar 37446 (SBB Re 482) which I have used as chassis for the swapped out frames from my 22631 (SBB Re 482) and 22636 (Crossrail BR 185) models by Trix. The models have a metal chassis, but have a nicely detailed plastic shell. I would not worry about this, as the model is much nicer than the metal Hobby model from Maerklin. As far as I know, the Hobby model is the only model of the Bombardier Traxx with metal shell, the Trix, Roco, Fleischmann, ACME and Brawa models all have plastic shells. As you are based in Seattle, I would recommend that you check with Mr Menzel at Eurorailhobbies in BC. I am sure that he can get the locomotive for you and is relatively close in case of difficulty. If you absolutely want the Hobby (Metal shell version), look for 36835: https://www.maerklin.de/...te/details/article/36835 My recommendation would still be the 37465 with it's higher detail and sound and light features. Regards Mike C

The MäTrix metal hobby models are available for BR 146.1 and BR 146.2. They used the mould of the BR 146.1 for "models" labelled as BR 146.0. I think it is BR 146.2 that is used in the Göppingen area. But I don't know how much you care about details.

But 37465 has plastic shell and I prefer metal shell and sound. That led me to the Brawa model. As Mike C has suggested, 37465 has a rather detail shell so I'm reconsidering that.

The metal body was a reason to mention the follower of the BR 146, the BR 187, which has a full metal body and chassis. For more information about the 146 and 187 read here please: http://www.railcolor.net...p?nav=1405014&lang=1 http://www.railcolor.net...2391&action=portrait here (unfortunately in German) a PDF-File about the BR 187, but it includes very interesting graphics pictures about the loco's interior. www.schienenfahrzeugtagu...ad/PDF2011/5-Altmann.pdf Ok, the 187 was not the type of loco moving you to and fro in Goeppingen, but perhaps it may be also of interest for you. Because it is the next generation and an European loco too. http://www.lte-group.eu/en/Locomotives.htm
