Hi Barrie, good to see you have returned to UA-cam once more, are these German trains manufactured in Germany or outsourced to China like almost everything is these days???? Cheers Tim Knight NZ
Fleischmann were still family owned up until 2009, when they merged with the owners of roco. Roco was going to be the ho line rebadging some of the fleischmann products. Fleischmann nowadays concentrate solely in N. It has always been produced in Germany. Fleischmann was relatively late in the train game, prewar it concentrated on its shipping and toy line, delving into 0 and then 00(H0) shortly afterwards.

Hi Barrie. Did i spot a new blue/grey coach behind Cock O The North ?
Its a prototype Mk2 Buffet Car; only 3 were ever made; as Mk3's kind of ended the Mk2 Buffet program.
@@BarrieDavisModelRailways I have seen that one on previous videos. It was the leading coach i meant, possibly a parcels coach.
Oh that one; its an old Utility Van made by 'Mainline' and later by 'Bachmann'; made in various liveries.
@@BarrieDavisModelRailways Cheers Barrie. It looked good with that rake of coaches.
