Running Trix 25027 DR Br 02.0314 & Roco Br02 0201 in Excursion Style. (Marklin 39027, Roco 63198)

A plausible video of what could be an excursion run with models of DR Br 02.0314 and Br 02.0201 steam locomotives running in parallel tracks if the former prototype would be in working order. Both are high speed brake test locomotives that were one of kind rebuilt around 1960 in the DDR.

Inspired on videos of parallel track runs in Geislinger grade in Germany and when UP FEF 844 ran together with SP GS4 4449.
The Br 02.0314 is a Trix 25027 (Marklin 39027) just recently released. Not going into specifics, I am pleased surprised. It is natural that Marklin had to step up details of this model, because Roco's Br 02.0201 it is one of best models in their line.

I can see improvements on diecast boiler and tender parts, as well as in the plastic details. I like to see that pilot and trailing trucks now show rivets on. There is even plastic detail of linkage of inner cylinders, although in black plastic. It is a great model and priced right considering extra lighting and the dynamic smoke unit.

One criticism is that for Trix models. They still come with 2mm deep "pizza cutter" flange on wheels. it looks so non prototypical and very toyish. How many of us ran this models on Trix International track. C'mon Marklin, times have changed. Make models that can run on popular Code 100 NMRA tracks.
