hello guys, <br />you can buy the trix big-boy with your eyes closed. <br />no joke,this machine will stay with you and run on your railroad for decades!! <br />we've got here in europe people whow still run theire 1964 marklin locs! <br />so if you want to invest for looooooong term,buy trix.anyway,it's a bell shape motor type,one of the higly smooth motor you can have on the market. <br />regarding the riv loc,you must ask and look for the last runs,the only one with motor inside the boiler and not the old one with motor insteade of the cab's crew. <br />so,here come the choice for you,but make sure you've got what you ask for:accuracy-size of the driving wheel-,reliability,warranty,and also weight. <br />yes,make sure the trix won'tt fall on your first plastic bridge because it's a huge beast,like the real.even marklin recomanded to attatch the rail of his own indestructible system to prevent any trouble. <br />up to you to make a decision with this infos. <br />anyway,both deserve to be working and pulling heavy trains. <br />all the best, <br />nick <br />
