Roco 2008
Hello, after the complete Roco new items 2008 list is known now, it's maybe worth to open this own thread for it, it's a long list. Can be found i.e. here: http://drehscheibe-online.ist-im-web.de/forum/read.php?10,3619419 the describtions in the list are not so accurate, so we still have to wait till the news brochure itself is puplished. wish a lot of fun by researching the list ;-) Dirk

Good grief....!!!!! Mind you there are a couple of items in that list I'd be interested in. Have to see how/when things come out. Steph

Hi Tim, in the list at 'Modellbahnecke' is this decribtion: 63283 H0 DB Ep.III 03.10 mit Oberflächenvorwärmer I don't know if this enough to identify, otherwise we have to wait for pics of the brochure

Tantalizing but vague :P Jurgen

Now thats interesting, a Br 52 , I am looking forward to it. E.Baykal

Looks like there is some neat stuff in there. My New Years resolution was to build/buy at least 1 if not two DRG DZug this year Roco are certainly helping with at least 5 possible wagons for them (45682-7) But lets see what the look like. John

Isn't Oberflächenvorwärmer referring to the situation of the preheater above the smokebox door?

I too am looking forward to a 52, especially if it has a wannentender- I can see future releases of the 50 with a wannentender if they do a 52 with one. Would have preferred them to have produced something not already available, like perhaps an 83 though. maybe next year!

I would like to see a Roco BR50 with Wannentender as well. Maybe that will open the door to more late production 50's with conventional tender and a single sand dome. But that's wish list material... Jurgen

With regard to the Roco BR 03.10, the model most requested by Roco Club members in 2007 was BR 03.10 with neubaukessel. I'm hoping.... Neil

Neil, I think its the 03.10 they already produce, with the pre heater added above the smokebox. BUT if its the DB rebuild with new boiler, all I can say is fingers crossed. This 01 has a Mischvorwarmer fitted. So whats the difference between this and the Roco model ? David

We now have images. http://www.modellbahnecke.de/rocon.htm Still no DB 03.10 I'm afraid. David

Is this not it? 63283 H0 DB III 03.10 Oberflächenvorwärme N08 I/08 389,00 € KB 63284 H0 DB III 03.10 Oberfl. Sound N08 I/08 509,00 € KB http://www.modellbahnecke.de/bilder/roco/63284.jpg Cheers John

Just noticed, the Br 52 is planned to hit the market 2008 Q4. My best bet will be 2009 Q2 / Q3 comparing it with the launch of the Br 24 which was supposed to be a 2007 fall item. :cry: E.Baykal
