Better for a 1000 less a used one from the 80s. Wilesco never got close to Märklin and Co from before the war. But the new one is carelessly nailed together, there are better ones from China and even toys from the GDR were better. After 50-60 years, the heating could have been made controllable ex works, so the part constantly runs into the safety valve. Primitv has nothing to do with nostalgia. Also the material, especially the fittings that you touch feel like they came from a gumball machine, with the old ones it's still a bit of German workmanship. If the part cost €500, I wouldn't say anything and fix the defects myself, including turning off the wobbling flywheels, but like this: No thanks Wilesco!
