With a number of specialzed US model railroad dealers it is often tu buy from them or to import directly from the USA. If the latter is worth the additional effort decides the exchange rate. Buying at the dealer eleminated the possible trouble with customs. Since about two years customs enforces the CE certification requirement, which American items usually don't have. But the classification of MR items seems differently in different customs offices. There might be no problem or the items gets rejected. An example: A ScaleTrains.com SD40T-2 costs about $252 until in Germany. A German dealer asks converted $270. You save $18 but is it worth the possible trouble? With a stronger Euro the gap gets wider. Regards; Volker
