It's true - I did a double-take when I saw the printing "Made in China" on the end of the box for my 40840 Alpine Classic baggage car (interested to read about the problems with the first batch - bought mine in March this year and it's fine - all assembled as well as their German-built stuff). I agree it's sad to see another manufacturer moving jobs overseas, but from what I've heard it's more to do with a lack of production capacity at the Nuremburg plant than anything else. Price of this item would probably have been far higher if made in Germany judging by other similar-sized items. I agree the plastic wheels are a disgrace on a model of this price - it'll have ball-bearing wheelsets and interior lighting fitted as soon as funds allow.
