At one time, Minitrix was "state of the art." They are rugged but obsolete. I have an older Arnold that is similar to the Minitrix. I would buy the Minitrix myself but for the same reason I've kept my archaic Arnold. It even says "West Germany" on the bottom. It has oversized wheels, no head light, is made of metal, is a little noisy, has no flywheels and will really pull. Is it obsolete? YES! To me its akin to owning a Willy's Jeep. For an up to date switcher, I'd recomend an Atlas RS-1. I like them so much, I've got three! I had one of the Minitrix F-units decorated for Pennsylvania. I model B&O, C&O and Chessie and Do Not enjoy repainting units, though I have done so many times and havr been more than satisfied with the results. Well, I have a good friend who fell in love with it, so I gave it to him. I have too many engines already. Even though I would have had to repaint the unit, I would have probably scarfed that Minitrix switcher up. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
