DSB Class E - Comparing Models from Märklin/Trix and Heljan

The recent Märklin/Trix model is not the first H0-scale version of the iconic Danish class E steam locomotive. Models of Danish class E and Swedish class F locomotives were presented by Danish manufacturer Heljan back in October 2008. In this video I compare the two models of E 991 from Trix (25491) with E 978 from Heljan (45411). Spoiler alert: The Trix model is better detailed and has better pulling power up an incline, but the 14 year older Heljan-model is actually keeping up pretty well.
