Picked up mine yesterday. What a model. It looks and runs superbly and is up there with Roco 310.23 in terms of finish. Alongside my repainted ESU 66, these two are a couple of diecast beasts. As these were sold out relatively quickly on the Mrklin/Trix webshop, my fingers are crossed that British HO has been good enough for them to offer something else!

 

 

 

My pictures do not do either of them justice.

It’s this kind of post that ruins RMweb’s reputation, with someone ACTUALLY liking a model and enjoying it for what it is, not slagging it off for minor imperfections. I’m sure it will run superbly, the reason I switched to continental  HO all those years ago. I’ll park mine  next to  my Trix  Big Boy and giggle with wonder at being able to finally truly compare the difference in size between them. And I’ll run it with a nice rake of Orient  Express coaches from Rivarossi. Enjoy!

Sorry to hear you're having problems, 071. I've just smuggled one back from my Americaland holiday to join my Big Boy It runs very well but looks like I'm gonna have to do a lot of CV tweaking to get more realistic running. Can I ask other owners how they've set up various CV values to obtain what they consider satisfactory running? I'm not familiar with Tsunami decoders so any advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers
