I have no layout yet, but I will hopefully have one in some years. The job to make a train room has just started. I think of a U-shaped layout. Currently I am just collecting and rebuilding locomotives and wagons. My plan is to use a combination of Märklin C- and K-tracks, so I am slowly building up a stock of tracks. I have a Märklin Central Station (CS1) and a couple of Mobile Stations (MS1). I will probably use a Märklin Control Unit and a Keyboard to control a turntable and a crane.
For me the function and handling is more important than exact model accuracy, so I don't mind if a locomotive is 3 mm too short or if the lamp position is a little bit wrong. It is important, though, that people recognize the model. I find the period from late 50's to early 70's interesting, as you can find a good variety of steam, diesel and electric locomotives at the same time.
I wish to share some of my Märklin experiences with other people who are interested
in this fascinating hobby. From time to time I will add some photos of my
locomotives and later on freight cars and passenger coaches.
The photos are split into different groups, like NoHAB, Norwegian locomotives,
tender locomotives etc.
Due to this, it may be possible to find the same locomotives in several groups.
From time to time I will add some stories about real trains, or, as someone said, scale 87:1.
