Roland, it is in the broshure you can buy from Hornby for 1.45 Euro  :'(
Looking at the latest Arnold prices, I doubt this will be a hit in Dollarland ....

Sweet an international FT vs FT debacle! I'm going to bet the Athearn engine will be better, cost less and come out first.

Hmm what a prediction, 2007 era tooling will be better than old Rivarossi rehashes, it will cost less because the dollar is so low right now, and it will be out first because Athearn has a head start....next week's lottery numbers will be ??? ;)

Just to be fair here - Arnold has been back for at least a year, with Euro products available in the US now. If you factor in VAT, discounts, etc... Euro models are cheaper in the US than in Europe. I know this sounds hard to believe but it is true.

I suspect that this is the same model as what Concor has offered for years... doesn't Hornby own Rivarossi now???
