Hi Ricky,

No, I hadn't seen the video before, great fun to watch. ThumpUp

B1 reckons it's the yellow nose cone that gives the connection to Baden-Württemberg. Smile

That will be the last video shown on PartII, as I'm sure you're aware, PartIII starts tomorrow.

Buy a new Breadboard
Going to make the main living Quarters in the Train Cabin and the main house the new Train Room,

GOing to switch to T Scale/gauge and throw out all of the HO Stuff.

Dear Ian, sorry to disappoint you a little bit - most of the views are from search bots, not humans... The bots hammer through the pages and generate a lot of views...

Nevertheless, it's an unprecedented forum topic view record indeed and will probably not be beaten by any other topic... SmileThumpUp

Disappointed, no way, I've always suspected that the "other's" are viewing Baden-Württemberg, as well as humans.


I feel a new story line.........Baden-Württemberg--- viewed from another world.

Hi Robert,

Yes, all the Smurf's that live in the secret village, the entrance to which is invisible, are all aware just how dangerous Gargamel and his cat Azrael are, especially if he was to use his "blue magnet" in their capture.

This is one of the main concerns I have with the layout being moved to the new Train Room next year, it's great of course that Gargamel can't find the invisible hidden entrance to the village, but this does mean I can't find it either.

Maybe, some of the "Other's" can point me in the right direction......or keep me on the right track.

Appears you can run the Loco,lights, sounds, while in the display case...very smart.

Do any members use them for their display Loco's.

How this is going to work, from now on, I'm going to just buy invisible Marklin Loco's, place them in the case and tell you what they look like.

You know what they say about Scotsman, I think this will work.

I awoke this morning to a lot of noise and activity outside. I went through to the kitchen, couldn't find the kettle, turned on the radio but there was a lot of background interference and they were playing some old songs.

I went outside to find the neighbours already standing in the street. I noticed a group of 4 or 5 boys playing, only one of them had a old black bike. They were wearing lederhosen and had no shoes on. One of the boys had his proud possesion outside, a toy train.
I walked over and asked if I could have a look. He excitedly showed me it, a clockwork tinplate train with Märklin stamped on it.

One of the neighbours was reading a paper, the date was 23rd January 1941.

I asked what was happening and was told, they had heard that Oberstleutnant Adolf Galland was going to fly past Freiburg in his Messerschmitt Bf109f-2 on his way to another daring mission shooting down British Spitfires and Hurricanes.

The droning got louder and then you could see the fighter plane, and just as quickly it was gone.

But the noise was getting louder, becoming more of a deep growl.


Suddenly, I was awake, eyes open, the first thing I saw was the flat screen on the bedroom wall.

I got up and looked out the bedroom windows, my son Paul had started the Firebird and was reversing it out the garage.
I thought, those new race cylinder heads have added some grunt to that big block chevy.

Standing there, I realised just how much life had changed......

Hi all,

Well, that's Baden-Württemberg reached 6M views this morning and tomorrow I've got some photo's of a really nice little Loco that you haven't seen before, to mark the occasion.

See you in the morning. ThumpUp

Ian.
