Very good idea,and it will be better if we have photos.

John: Generally I prefer them to be "clean" - i.e. a coal train (hoppers only), a fuel train, another one with box cars & reefers, and so on ... MOW or fire trains are "mixed" consists, of course

Hi all,

I've several consists that I usually run with slight changes and can be pulled by BR 50, BR 151, Ae6/6 or NS 1200 , which are:

- A tank train, with 7 or 8 old tank wagons from different oil companies.
- A container train, with 4 platforms and 3 low side wagons loaded with 20' and 40' containers.
- A fridge train, with 9 or 10 fridge wagons from some brands of bier and other food (Milka, Chupa-Chups, Danone, etc).
- A heavy train, with two heavy load 6-axle wagons with iron, a low platform with an electrical transformer, 2 or 3 stake cars loaded with metallic tubes and 2 Gs closed wagons.

But I have a consist that is my favourite among all. It's pulled by the BR 55, and always has oldtimer 2-axle wagons from era III, that usually are:

- A X05 loaded with lumber or a Lanz Bulldog, a X05 with driver's cabin and loaded with lumber, an old tank car from VTG, an Omm loaded with coal, a G10 closed wagon, two wooden barrel wagons with driver's cabin from Trix and a G10 with driver's cabin from an apple liquor.

I'm sorry I don't have the Märklin references by the moment.

Kind regards.

I have a collection of sets, although I've only recenty restarted my MRR hobby:

<ul><li>Rheingold set 4228 - truly beautiful</li><li>Feuerwehr set, with all the extra wagons</li><li>The faux-Soviet sets 47897 and 47899, with the BR52/TE 3915 (#37159) coming soon from eBay</li><li>A "last drinks" set with 8 beer wagons, 3 wine, 1 glass wagon, and the new 46364 mobile still (this set to be continued...)</li><li>DSB set with Hobbytrade MZ and a couple of Roco wagons</li></ul>
I don't know yet whether I'll do much re-coupling, since I don't actually have a layout yet [:(], but they look good toghether on the attic floor
