Saxad nyhet från NMJs Facebook-sida
"BREAKING NEWS! Roco have announced the MAS 1950 series iron ore hoppers in their latest main catalogue. This is a cooperation between NMJ and Roco which have been taken to the next level.
NMJ have delivered the complete data package for the MAS series, and have been an essential co-developer for the project. As the news is out, we are proud to announce that Roco will EXCLUSIVELY make and manufacture MAS 1902 and 1908 for NMJ and our NMJ Topline range.
Yet again have we succeeded with our efforts to bring a whole range of interesting models to the market, now in a healthy partnership with Roco. The essential strength of our collaboration is the total variety of MAS hoppers to be expected, both from NMJ and Roco. We don't make one type - together we will make all main types of the Mas series!
More information to come, and a statement from NMJ Group Manager, majority owner, and senior developer, Finn Moe, is to be expected!"
Angående att Märklin/Trix vagnar levereras i paket om sex stycken och är billigare
"MAS vognene som Trix/Märklin har laget er ikke de samme som kommer i NMJ Sortimentet. Som skrevet over vil Roco og NMJ levere langt flere varianter og typer. Dette er en fornuftig løsning hvor to firmaer kan samarbeide om et langt større mangfold og variantspekter. Det vet vi mange setter stor pris på! Videre har vi vært med på hele prosjektet og levert alt av underlag og dokumentasjon for denne serien, og når denne serien ser dagens lys vil man kunne lage et korrekt vognsett nesten uavhengig av tidsperiode. Totalt sett vil vi nok si at det er en liten sensasjon og en stor bragd for nordisk MJ!!"
Att det skulle vara billigare att tillverka via Walthers i USA jämfört med Kina
Han, your ideas and thoughts are good. However, to develop these models at Walthers will not result in any lower price, because the main problem is still the quantity - development costs are fixed, higher quantity = lower price. To join forces and bring an entire line of MAS hoppers is good news for all LKAB/Nordic rail fans as it results in endless possibilities to make complete trains. Furthermore it would be several problems with NEM vs NEMRA standard (for example RP25 wheels disqualifying all AC users). The DC market in Europe are carried forward by the "big guns" like Roco. We are dependent on them for the promotion, marketing and recruitment to this hobby. They offer a strength and a complete line of quality products (rolling stock, starter sets, tracks, digital systems and innovation). They are the entry gate and foundation to the newcomers to our great hobby, and through collaboration we can make both ours and their products more attractive in the market. We have an outstanding cooperation with Roco and we have further strengthen our relationship with this line. Without their products and long lasting efforts, NMJ would not be where we are today. It's not "them" or "us", it's a symbiosis where both we and the market benefit from our mutual efforts.
