Thanks for your detailed review and critique. I subscribed. Are those plastic gears in the bogies?

Thank you for subscribing.
Main one from wheels are metal, rest is plastc. But they are big and solid looking (Marklin style). That s why in ESUs video I mentioned the impression about their solution in regarding. 😊

Just wonder, does ESU use metal or plastic gears for T18 and V200? And Märklin uses plastic gears too?

[@electrain]

@@marklin_in_canada mostly the used material for it is plastic

[@marklin_in_canada]

So those plastic gears would wear out over time and locomotive loses traction and slips?

[@electrain]

@@marklin_in_canada let s say that if your locomotives are not runing eeach and every day at least 3h/day you don t have to worry about.
of course factory poor quality is possible sometimes but it s rare especially on Marklin.
you have an example of durability on our recent video for PIKO 59322 where the metal of the wheels expired but the plastic gears are still usable. regards,

Thanks. Would you pick the ESU or Trix Ae 6/6?

[@electrain]

ESU. but is a subjective choice because I am addicted to details and functional details
