Seems like in general Trix and MiniTrix are really starting to make a names for themselves in the US now...and most know Marklin is behind it. In fact, I just read some great reviews on the Trix HO US-style boxcars, which is good since companies are under a lot of pressure to get everything "right" (rivet by rivet ) for the proto-modeller. I never think Marklin three-rail will "take off" with the general modelling public here, but Trix and MiniTrix can really make a bigger name for themselves and will gain even more acceptance I think over time. I bet the NYC Mikado will be as a big a hit as the Big Boy.

Tried this on the r2 radius and works okay. Only snag is that because it is 2 rail the tacks have to be kept clean (Flieshmann track cleaner comes in handy). With a Selectrix or DCC chip she will be a treat to watch. The TEE minitrix version is not too bad either. The TEE TRIX HO, as I read it, does not come with a DCC chip? Can anyone confirm this? The Mikado will also be coming in the 2 rail version with 'bells and whistle'. Can't wait! Cheers from a cloudy Brisbane spring. Noel
