The Ge4/4 on the other hand was a surprise find at Popondetta Yokohama. At ¥22,000 it wasn’t cheap, but at the same time it’s also one of the Noch exclusives, item no. 7074063, which may also play some part in said cost. It looks to be in perfect external condition, and of course ran well when I tested it.

That's awesome.   I've looked at the Noch exclusives on websites and wished they were still available and affordable...  I don't know why I like the Rhätische Bahn.   While I've been in Switzerland, never in that neck of the woods and have never traveled on it (yet).  But I just like them and have a bunch of stuff (though no Allegras)

A visit to Paris for Japan Expo 2024 yielded this right on the first day, at Trans-Europ.

 

One DB BR 215 in DCC
One Small DR luggage car with lights

Two SNCF Corail TER 2º Class coaches

One (painfully expensive) SNCF BB 26000 DCC with sound. Because it was the last of the Multiservice in stock...

The first of the new RhB R -w wagons by Kato arrived:

I have the pack of four with containers and the single one with the optional log loads.

 

I was contemplating waiting until a UK stockist had the four pack with logs in stock as in the past one in particular has been competitive with Hobbysearch after including VAT and postage, but not any more - £150 here vs £75 (ish) from Hobbysearch. Will order the other pack soon.

I was able to snag this dodgy coach at Ebay.

Train show weekend is here, and we all know what that means!

 

 

Another new retailer has appeared on the scene, and I couldn’t help but pick up some more secondhand Märklin items from him:

• 39030 BR18.5 express passenger locomotive and matching 42259 coach set.
• 48727 German Federal Army heavy-duty flat car loaded with an M48G tank.
• 47951 “Tank Transport with Tank Crew Car” set including three M48 tanks and an armoured troop carrier.
• 48114 (beer wagon) and 48115 (gondola with scrap load) Museum wagons.

The 48727 and 47951 sets were part of the short lived 4mfor lineup from the mid-2000s, and I hadn’t expected to see them at the show. As a result, my panzer train has now increased in size from five wagons total to ten plus a coach for the crews. So, not quite a sensha-do team yet if I wanted to go down that line of thought, but we’re getting there…

 

There will be a little more added to this tomorrow, but not too much.
