- Not very many, but you may be right in that the most inexpensive
- Trix models may not be very detailed. However, these models often
- date some years back. The recent releases are just as good as any
- others. Of course, prices often rise with increasing detail level.
- Please note: often, not always. Not in the Roco case, for example.
- This Austrian firm sure knows how to combine excellent quality with
- moderate prices.
