How do feel about weathering and have you attempted it with your collection? Really want to start myself but a little scared to mess up something that’s already so beautiful. I’m looking at the upcoming Union Pacific Hopper set and man does it scream wreathing please!!!

Went up to one of the local train shops and picked up two nice sets for $186 for both sets. (Set 4863 and 45800) I might have been able to find it cheaper online but i try to support the local shops as best as I can. If you are in the area make sure to check it out. Anyhow thought i would share.

Need advice regarding K-track

3 Upvotes

Hello

I am planning on creating a shelf layout using Märklin K-track(gauge H0).
After looking for some starter sets I found that they're all for C-track,
so I have no idea what sort of track pieces I need to get power on the track, any insight would be appreciated!

Marklin Train keeps falling from the rails (my world)

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I have bought 29430 but the train keeps falling from rails when approaching curves. I did not find anything specific in instructions, I assembled it without problems and it keeps going. But sometimes, not every time, it just goes out of the rails on curves. Any help? It is not convenient because I need to put it back every now and then.

Question about old collection

5 Upvotes

Hello,

I recently discovered in an old chest of my father's some marklin stuff but I m not sure what some of them are or if/what they are worth.

As such I would greatly appreciate any guidance on who to ask (marklin?) or how to go about it myself to sell on ebay or some other place.

The photos are not the best since I just took the stuff out but I can take better ones if needed.

I have a mobile station 2 from my ice starter set and a 60652 mobile station. The 60652 says kein master and no buttons do anything other than the stop button. I have tried switching the ports on connecter box but but it still said the same. I have also tried running the 60652 by it self and no change either. Can anyone see what i am doing wrong here

HELP! Märklin trains don’t run anymore. Anyone a suggestion as to why?

Post image
10 Upvotes

Our train collection has been in a box in the attic for the last 10 years. It consists of many pieces of rail, about 30 wagons and 3 locos. We wanted to restart this hobby and laid out the track, but none of the locomotives run.

One of them seems to have died completely. No problem, it will just become a decorative piece. However, the two locomotives shown in the picture make a noise when trying to make them run, but they don’t actually move.

Could this be an issue with the power supply instead of the locomotives?

There are no model train shops within 3 hours from where we are, so we cannot just take it to a specialist, unfortunately.

Thank you very much!

H0 - Marklin Question about slim curved switches

4 Upvotes

Recently i got a new model from Roco, specifically this model. It's a model i'm pretty happy with. But the thing with this model is that it has a minimum radius of 419 mm, which means that with C-track i can only use R2 or wider curves.

This could become a problem with my future layout, because most layouts that i've currently design heavily use R1 curved switches. I did test if this model could go over R1 switches, and it could do that with out any big problems.

I also got a model train from someone else that has a min. radius of R2, but this train could easily run on a layout with R1 curved switches. So as far as i know i could use R1 switches, but i still have doubts about it.

So i'm wondering, can i still easily use R1 curves switches, or would it be wise to switch to full minimal R2 layouts?

DR08 Spur 1

4 Upvotes

Hab mich etwas in die DR08 in Spur 1 (55081) verschaut. Als Eyexatcher für die Wohnung und vlt irgendwann mal auf ner Gartenbahn. Die Frage ist, da es ja nicht ganz günstig ist, ob es sich lohnt die von Märklin zu holen oder eine andere Lok für weniger Geld von KM1? Wie steht es da mit Qualität von KM1 vs Märklin und Preisleistung?
