HAG made many years ago were great but not so sure about newer models nwhich I have heard are not as good.
Take care I like Marklin and will defend the worlds greatest model rail manufacturer.

You forgot other more new products by ESU.
Ecos are the new digital system with upgrade touchscreen.
Still same design and same program but more advance high capacitive touchscreen so you need no more plastic pencil.

If you go to the MSL site and select ESU then News you will get the English version of new items. Would post a link but by now most will know I have no idea how do this type of thing on here.
Looks like they have some good items but I dont know how coaches will run on C track as my previous ESU coach was not great even when changing wheels.
Locos look good also.

I can only find the German 2024 Locos and rolling stock, or the 2022/2023 decoders and accessories, again in German.

Hi Alan. Just change to English at top right corner. Go to ESU NEWS. However it may not be up to date as I dont have a great interest in ESU but it does give details of their controller and the locos etc appear to be reservation so I expect are new. As far as I know MSL supply all ESU goods.

Everyone's prices go up year after year, once it's too much, you'll lose a lot of customers who will focus on second hand. Then I guess they will stop with the price increase? With some new models full of details, I still somewhat understand the high price, but for recycled models they ask really too much!
(This applies to all manufacturers, there are no more cheap ones)

Correct! Nothing is inexpensive anymore. We leased a new vehicle last week and it is virtually the same as the one we returned. While the list price was higher by over a thousand dollars we had to put more money down to have a bit lower monthly payment.
A few features are gone from the three year old model. No exterior door pillar lock pad, mirror puddle lights, interior footwell lights, and the hinged cover for the forward center console storage receptacle and USB port access. 8 way drivers seat as opposed to a 10 way, and a 4 way power passenger seat as opposed to a 6 way.

I know sometimes people are critical of Marklin, but when you consider the overall package, of quality, detail, robustness, reliability and running characteristics, upgradability, serviceability and second hand value is Marklin such a bad product?

Staying on the ESU topic I am thinking of adding a V200 with the turk and beige paint scheme, as I only have an old analog model in this livery. I have one ESU V200 and it is a good runner plus the smoke is always an interesting feature.
Don't look back, your not heading that way.

since I've added ball bearings to all my Märklin locos, there was no need for maintenance such as oiling and this in turn saves a lot of hassles down the track so to speak.,
