Another question - Tramway C11?

[Pashina12]

I'm finding these C11s by a company called Tramway, Y13000 give or take a bit. I've never heard of this company. The price is mentionably higher than for the upcoming Tomix and Kato C11s, so same question I've had with other subjects: anyone have any experience with these? Are they worth the price? (i.e. in some way more desirable than the others?)

I have three Tramway C11s, they are not in the same league mechanism (all three of mine needed a bit of work to get them running better) or detail wise as Kato or Tomix but do have a six pin NEM DCC socket and are not over scale as the old Kato or Micro Ace C11s.

 

When I bought the Tramway C11s Kato and Tomix had not announced theirs or I would have waited for the new Kato one, which I might end up getting anyway if it is as good as their C12.

 

That being said, the new run of Tramway C11s is supposed to have improvements over the old ones.

Thanks for that. I'm going to be getting a Kato C11, I guess I'll wait and see how that looks for DCC-ification. If that looks like a major pain then I'll consider the Tramway option, if I end up opting for DCC.
