Ok, I did it again. I just bought another V200 on eBay. That makes two in two days.  So I should get both in a few days. I am not sure on the age of the second V200 that I just bought, but the Engine # is V200060. As soon as I get either of them I will post pictures. Chris

That makes a total of 46 ore cars. I also have both Trix Long Henry Br44's.

Ray, I didn't mention about the other 2 Br44's I also have - 37889 'Big Ears' and the Br44 that came with the pipe train set a few years ago. A friend in our Marklin club also has the LH set, with extra ore cars - I think he has 44 or 48 cars. If we put them together, I guess we could have close to a 100 car train! I'd probably double head the train to pull 46 cars, but I could also run 2 trains of 23 cars each.

I got this one in 2007, with my new items order that year from LS along with two 46255 sets and thought that was enough. I did intend to order the 37883 but '07 was a big year allready with other items. Later when Marklin bought out 00775 set of 12 more Ore Wagens I ordered those. I missed the Oil fired '44 till I scored one on ebay in 2010, after and also finding another 00775 Set, at a very good price from RJF trains when he was advertising a Walters clearance. That left me with six more Wagens to get to make the 50. Got them last year from fettsau from a 00775 set and I believe he has more. Long Henry becomes a bit of an obsession  One day at a train show some where we'll run the lot (on our AMC modules) !! but probably in two Trains to be prototypical, altho maybe a 100, just to show US & NZR modllers what the DB and Marklin is made of .  Setting up such a train and putting it away would use a big chunk of your day, so I intend to get "Train Safe Travel" tubes for mine.

Hi All, Lots of very nice Loks everyone, gee you've all been very busy, buying and collecting.  I hope you'll all agree tho, that Ian's 2680 King Ludwig Train is rather nice and a rare find in Digital.  They don't come up too often. Not that I haven't been poking around ebay myself  and there's another "box" on the way from LS. Will post some when I get a chance. |

Wow- nice purchases guys! I have to up my game, I've bought about 4 sets of coaches this year, but almost nothing in the locomotive or the freight departments.
LOVE those long henry's!

Are you converting them to 3 Rail David ? My 37883 actually came from MiWuLa, they have a big clearout on ebay once or twice a year, and often the prices are quite favoiurable. I also got my 39800 V200 from them. in the same shipment as well as a kit or two & some wiking cars IIRC, it was nearly two years ago. I probably don't look at the items for sale on the forum often enough  |

V200 Arrived in the mail yesterday. See the picture below. Based on a weblink that another member sent to me I think this engine is from the 1980's maybe. In any event another great eBay find, practically no wear visible on the slider and the engine itself is in great condition and it ran great yesterday. I am now waiting for a shipmint of ESU decoders to convert and my other purchases to Digital. I am also still awaiting another V200 in the mail. Chris

Thanks guys. The thing that strikes me is how simple the model really is. The shell, a very plain chasis and then the motor and reversing unit, all very simple but also very nice looking. A really nice Marklin Engine.

Thanks everyone. I can't wait for the second one to arrive, it is only coming from a couple states over but I don't think it has been shipped yet. From the pictures I think the second one might be in need of some minor work, but I am looking forward to giving it a second life.

Hi friends I see that you all have been very busy buying rolling stock while I have been relaxing in our summer house. I have only bougt one thing, when I passed by my MMR dealer some days ago. Märklin 3136. CFL 453:  In the box:  This was made in 1986. Looking at the pick-up shoe and the wheels, this has hardly been run. The two front axles are locked. I will convert it with the 5* motor 60941 and mLD decoder 60962. Edited by user 15 July 2012 19:13:50(UTC)
