Hello,
I purchased Lenz' BR66 last Friday and I have to say I am more than impressed.
When you take the loco out of the box you notice that it's superbly detailed. Put it onto the tracks and you see that it runs as well.
Warm white LED headlights, sound not only digitally available, but also while running analogue! Everything inside the loco is not clipped together but there literally hundreds of screws.
You know I am running DC on Marklin tracks. There is no problem to attach a Roco silent slider (German: Flüsterschleifer) to the loco without any grinding or so.
One (small) disadvantage: the decoder is fixed to the loco; it cannot be exchanged. But I think you don't want to exchange it.
There is only one (let me call it) inaccuracy in the instruction sheet of the loco:
They tell you the loco will not run through radii of 360mm unless you remove the front steps and the piston protection pipes (Kolbenstangeschutzrohre). You rather have to remove some material from the front steps to allow the NEM pocket moving freely. Unvisible in normal use.
The loco is fantastic.
