[quote user="ATLANTIC CENTRAL"] And, I agree some are excelent models regardless of what curves they are designed for. But some are not - example: the PA1 - the swivel pilot just kills the whole thing, not to mention other details being oversized and out of proportion. You will never find anything like that on my layout. And, I must admit, I'll personally never pay a Marklin/Trix price when I can pay a Bachmann, BLI, or Proto2000 price. Sheldon  [/quote] Quite right, Sheldon, I never understood why Marklin chose to employ a technology of the 1950´s for this particular model. I also confirm your comment on the pricing of Marklin - I´d rather buy a BLI UP TTT as brass hybrid, which I get for less in Germany than a Marklin/Trix Big Boy, if I were modeling UP.As for the list, I did not want to list all those Berkshires, Alleghenys, Triplexes a.s. which are unfortunately not that well known in Europe. Apparently UP has a better marketing?
