·       In the MHI program, the BR 01 turns a hundred and so Marklin made a new advertising locomotive in the Class 101 with a picture of the bottom half of the boiler of a BR 01. This is a very sharp design and being in the MHI program, will be a sure sell out quickly. You can find the HO version under Marklin stock # 39479 and Trix T 25479. In Z scale, you will find this under 88668. Unfortunately, no release yet in MiniTrix N Scale. Perhaps Fall?
