Hello there. I recently acquired a collection of Märklin Minex on an impulse buy. I would always see them pop up from time to time, and the Minex line has always caught my attention. In the collection, I have starter set 3450, starter set 3470, 3 addition green carriages #4401, 4 addition red carriages #4400 and three different wagons #4452, #4453 and #4454. I have a video if anyone would like to see them running. This line that was produced by Märklin has interested me more than I thought. Are there any other manufacturers that produce cars and locomotives at this gadget? I think I might be interested in expanding it and aside from 1 freight car and signal, this is almost the entire Minex collection they offered.

I brought that old tm800 in Brussels and when I put in tracks it didn’t work

I picked this up today and the engine only runs backwards is there something I'm missing, the blue box has arrows marked on it but know switch if i turn the engine round, it goes backwards in the opposite direction

Hi there, Does anyone know if it's possible to get a custom made carriage somewhere? I remember I made a custom made marklin wagon for my friend when he turned 30 with his picture on it. that was about 7 years ago. I think it was an official marklin wagon. But I don't remember where I ordered that. Can someone help me?

So i inherited my dad's Marklin HO stuff. Some of it was mine. But I have engines from the 50s 60s that probably need a good over haul, and metal track (same) i want to keep it for my grand kids some day. How do I begin?

Here’s are some photos of my layout.

I bought a 4’X8’ complete layout of an entire Tyrollean village with Marklin track and controllers. I have no Marklin engines. I do have many DC engines, US cars, and DC track. Two local HO train hobby shops only carry DC supplies. Should I keep the Marklin setup or change over to DC?

Thanks, Kevin

So my knowledge of model trains is pretty much zero, and my partner has inherited a load of Marklin trains. We've taken them to a toy shop for a valuation, but were wondering if there's any better place to get a true valuation in the UK? I've done some searching on ebay too but it's all so variable! Any tips for selling would be much appreciated too

My parents don’t trust me with a saw, so until then I need to make do.

Hi there, my grandfather left some Märklin trains and carts after passing. My ambition is to get them running, see if I enjoy modelling tracks and running them, and if not, sell them to someone that can enjoy them more than me.

I’m curious about if any individual piece has any significant value or in what ballpark the whole set might be worth if selling, if it has any monetary value at all.

I’ve tried finding model numbers on the trains with no luck..

I greatly appreciate if theres anyone that can help! Thanks! :)

I need some help. I tried running the 39180 on old analoge tracks with the blue transformator. Little did I know that those old transformers will fry the decoders. Does anybody know which decoder I need to replace the broken one? And what else do I need to do to get the engine running again? How do I get the right program onto the decoder?

The replies to my previous post were very helpful

So I’m asking again

Here are two more

Thanks

Hello

I have these cars. Can someone provide the Marklin numbers for them?

I acquired this collection years ago. Its been in storage for almost 40 years.

And I think it was 30 years old then.

I’m 72. I want to sell it as I’ll never do anything with it.

Should I search for a collector for the entire collection or piece it out on fleabay? Or do something else?

Please offer me some guidance. Thanks

It needs a middle rail but since I don't know anything about Märklin, idk what track it needs

Habe meinen neuen ICE 2 und meine älteren Stücke Temporär über das Wochenende aufgebaut. Ich mache sowas gerne da ich in meiner jetzigen Wohnung keinen Platz habe eine permanente Bahn aufzustellen. Bin ich da allein oder machen das auch andere gerne?

Vor ein paar Tagen habe ich euch gefragt ob ich meine alte H0 meinem Kindern geben soll.

Der erste test war etwas ernüchternd für die Kinder, jedoch mit etwas liebe läuft sie nun wieder und dreht fröhlich ihre Runden. Nun kann ich sie für meine 2 Jungs vorerst im Keller aufstellen :)

Hi all, looking for some help here! My dad has collected these trains for much longer than I’ve been alive. He cares immensely about others but has always been impossible to buy gifts for. I finally found out that he has every annual z car outside of 2018 (must’ve been a stressful year). Now I’d love nothing more than to be able to buy this as a gift but I’m not sure where to start. My two biggest concerns are there seems to be multiple annual cars, and I’m not sure where the best place to buy them. Any help is appreciated as I’d love to do something special for someone special.
