Hi, I think I've got now about 204 locos with a sound decoder, my latest count is there are still 6 loco to go and this is it., it would have cost me A$ 33.000.00 retail over 5 years approximately., an expense I don't have to lay out again unless I purchase more locos.
will concentrate on tank cars and container cars (very expensive) and digital components such as powerpacks, ECoS links, detection, braking, signal modules and may be a 2nd ECoS in future., how much are my locos worth ? if you take each loco at a price of A$ 300.00 it amounts to A$ 62.400.00, I'm rich but the reality most probably will be another picture,

It is hard to estimate a true value, I've had a Lufthansa set (BR 103) for sale for at least 2 years and eventually a Swiss person bought it for the price I've asked for., mind you it had all the extras including sound decoder V5, highefficiency motor with ball bearings, 4 pin electrical couplings, interior lights, cab lights, white and red Led's, marker light, I think it was Euro 590.00.

the bulk was bought in the year around 2000 and later I've added a lot of SBB locos from Roco, HAG (mainly DC) and Märklin (36000 series), my collection consists of DB, ÖBB, SBB, SNCF, 2 locos from Sweden, 1 from Belgium, 1 from Italy, 1 from Luxemburg
