Does this imply that they have produced this model before? Aside: Fine Models also come with a version of the E 91 in scale I (1/32), e91-3. It's got three parts, whereas E 95 has two.

Whenever they introduce a totally new model, or change the design from a former production model, they say completely new tooling. This can mean a metal body, instead of plastic, or a new type of motor or frame.

My old M-rail layout has some industry track with 5120 of radius 286 mm. If I were to buy one, how might the 38950 behave should I by accident take it to that section? Plus, would there be any different behaviour for it running alone or with cars?

When 5120 M track was made, long Marklin coaches and some locomotives were 1/1000, and 1/93 scale.

I did not understand the last two fractions. I know that long running material weren't as long as 1/87 would have made them
