This new Br-187 from Marklin is an exceptional value. I had previously purchased a Piko version of this lok a couple years ago. Compared to the Piko version, Marklin has executed the paint job well, especially the roof markings which are missing on the Piko version. Piko does get a nod as their electrical roof details are better executed. Where Marklin really wins is with a MFX decoder with full sound. Not only are the sounds correct for the Br-187, but the last mile diesel sounds are included as well. For only about $25 more than Piko charges for a plastic body model with a MM/DCC decoder, you can get a metal body model with MFX and full sound. The only real negative that I have on the Marklin model is that it is numbered as 187-004-7 that should only have Railpool markings. Piko correctly numbered their version as 187-005-4 which had the BLS panels. Honestly, the numbering is small and hard to see and should not discourage anyone from purchasing this model.
Bottom Line: I would recommend this to a friend
