At the moment, there are strong rumors about:

RhB Triebwagen ABe 8/12 ? Allegra?

You just know that is going to be expensive........and late

Perhaps it wont be that expensive if it is based on the ICE/LCE Train.

I would have thought the HSB Triebwagen would have also been a good one for LGB to produce?

Although I realise that they are made by another German company already....

 

[Loco]

That is good news if they choose to make a half-decent model. I would not be happy if they choose to do a stripped down aka LCE version of this one. With regards to timing, the rumors I have read at the Cadosch forum talks about 2013.

The Triebwagon I like but they will have to be careful, if the proportions are "squeezed" or those curved sloping "A" pillars are too thick it will look awful.

This is now a classic example of RhB stock - I know the original is not to everybodys taste, but the model is bound to be popular. I hope the rumours are true.
It being a modern classic, I can't see Marklin doing a cheapo toy job on it. :impatient:
The RhB range from LGB, on the whole is now very detailed and relatively expensive - I anticipate a brilliant model but at a price to match.

Did some research on the name, and guess what... He works at Märklin. He takes care of the LGB club news.

So, pretty much confirms the rumor, right?
