      Well, some things still have to be done by hand. No matter where they’re made, that’s still true. But because of computers and CAD/CAM, models today are vastly better than models from more than 30-40 years ago. Those were simple and primitive, unless they cost thousands.

Roco has superb motors also, and together with decoders from ZIMO, the locomotives are the best runners I know. I just watched how Rapido Trains use a laser scanner to make accurate 3D drawings from prototypes. I hope this will become the new industry standard.

    Roco ha rivoluzionato il modellismo ferroviario italiano con l'uscita, tanti anni fa, della bellissima ed avveniristica, per la fedeltà ai dettagli ed alla scala, E626, in tutte le livree e versioni. Di seguito ha incrementato la produzione di materiale rotabile italiano con eccellenti prodotti, carri, carrozze, materiale di trazione. Una produzione sempre eccellente, e credo apprezzata dal mercato italiano, che ha dimostrato un discreto volume di acquisti. Ora ci sentiamo trascurati, nuovi modelli ispirati alle nostre ferrovie non ne appaiono da tempo. Come mai ?

    • @reynauldseuroimportsinc.4526
      @reynauldseuroimportsinc.4526 5 лет назад +1

      3D printing is still way too slow and the manufacturing would be too expensive because how slow the printing is. Also you still would need to produce a nice zinc or die cast frame. It cost about 2 million to bring out a high end model in Europe but once the tooling is built you can manufacture that model for decades.

      The tooling I believe is amortized over 6 years so over this time period they will produce enough models to pay for the tooling. The quantities these days are nothing compared to the 70s and 80s so not sure how many. If I had to guess maybe around 5 thousand or 6 thousand units. Keep in mind that the tooling will be used for decades so over time they will make nice profits.

    USA manufacturers lang ago ran off to China and are now going to paying the price for it. There is no reason US manufacturers could not do as Roco and keep it in the USA. I have a number of their locos and they are world class.

      Americans are super sensitive to price. If anything had to be sold for $300 with sound they'd have a fit.

      When the motors are built with the SAME integrity as when they were built in Austria, they shall run forever. I have over a dozen of them and they run smoothly.
