I own one MBW diesel as the V221 will now clearly not be manufactured in brass to 1.43.5 and I am not impressed. The Lenz I have seen and used is of comparatively good quality though.
If your post is about 1:43.5 I completely agree with you. All high end and low end German 0 manufacturers including Kiss have chosen to use the correct scale of 1:45 and not 1:43.5. The English manufacturers, also high end, still use the wrong scale of 1:43.5. Of course that is no problem if you are just running trains, but if the website (like Masterpiece models) is mentioning "Our objective is simply to produce the most accurate model possible " using a wrong gauge/scale combination seems a bit odd.

They offer S7 which is completely scale. I will stick with 32mm gauge, can you see the extra which is less than 1MM although it is rounded out to 33MM. My point was that the German market will not pay for Kohs type quality.
