When the Japanese car makers entered the German market, their cars came fully equipped at a price below the bare entry-level models of our own industry, which usually sported a list of extras to be ordered more than a mile long. The list has grown into a full book of the size of "War and Peace", allowing the dear customer to easily double the price of the car he wants. In the good old (early) days of the VW Beetle, you had the choice of a "Standard" model, or the "Export" model, which had more bling to it. Ah, yes, you also had to choose a color and the option of a radio, or a sun roof. Remember this inglorious ragtop, which became so brittle after only 15 years out in the weather? Marklin has - if not completely, than to a large extent, taken away any choice. If the loco is offered with sound, that´s what you get and have to pay for. All of them have Marklin´s proprietary DCC system - basta!
