[quote user="ATLANTIC CENTRAL"] [quote user="tstage"] [quote user="Sir Madog"]Even Marklin, with their Trix brand, get a slice of that cake.[/quote] I wish Marklin were still producing Trix locomotives. <IMG alt=Sigh src="http://cs.trains.com/trccs/emoticons/icon_smile_sigh.gif">  Their Mikes are absolutely beautiful - both detail-wise and operationally.  I bought both their NYC Mikes off eBay for over 1/2 off MSRP. Tom [/quote] That's why they went out of business, nobody bought them at regular price. And, while the Mike is a nice model, selling PA1's with Lionel like swivel pilots will not get you far in the North American HO market. If you want to sell trains in this market, they need to be built to certian standards. Having been in this hobby a long time and worked in it as well, I have seen this over and over. Sheldon  [/quote] Marklin and Trix as their DC/DCC brand are still in business, but, aside from some bread and butter locos, all their releases are limited runs only. They have not  issued any new US outline loco for some time. From what I have heard by Chinese whispers, Marklin/Trix are pondering to re-release the Big Boy, but with a new sound decoder.
