Good one Allan, At the end of Sunday in 2013, I was standing alongside Marklin's Pro Videographer on the running board of Emma, I was waiting for his video to "pop up" somewhere !

I have added the link on my video in my channel, see here ;



and here;



For those attending I cannot recommend or suggest strongly enough that you make the visit to Leonard Wiess Depot on Sunday afternoon to check out the 1 Gauge and other stuff there and be there for the finale !! Woot Wink
It is well worth the wait for the Lokzug and there are the free buses on standby that leave just after the trains go by, to take you around the circuit and back to Goppingen once more.
Edit; don't forget to ride the Railbus there from Goppingen Hbf, check out the schedule for Sunday afternoon

I have it from the "Horses mouth that J Vuye is at the Gotthard right this minute, heading for Goppingen, traveling with Dreadnaught and French friends, all good there !ThumpUp

Tom you need to go to the Gotthard and inspect the downhill rusty ballast because of braking, then apologise to Jacques for your all unknowledgeable Aussie Railroader comments two years ago ThumpUp Wink

In fact any stretch of downhill twin track will exhibit the same rusty ballast, just remember they drive down hill on the left in Switzerland, and the right in De Wink

Hi all,
thanks for the extra information. I will be there from Thursday and plan to purchase the tickets at the Marklin Museum. Hope to meet some of you. I am still planning to be at the railway station platform near the ped overpass at 14:00 on Saturday.

Hi Harry,

If you were genuinely keen Smile

Go to Booking.com and search the area, preferably on the Stuttgart Ulm line, and I'm sure you could find something suitable, even if in Stuttgart ! Trains are your friend along with the "DB Navigator" app, on your Smartphone, well IPhone at least !
Esslingen is a good choice of town half way, but likely full already ! Wink

How you get to Stuttgart is something else, but I'm sure a cheap flight could be found to Stuttgart, or if not Frankfurt, get a DB pass also !

I've been twice, and stayed at Esslingen the first time and Eislingen two years ago, all well connected to Goppingen !

Good luck !

Hi all

Well, I've arrived and fully installed in the hotel Hohenstaufen in Goppingen.

If there is anyone else out there yet, then please let me know.


Yesterday we called in at Neustadt an der Weinstrasse and dropped in on a little place called Lokladen. Has anyone used this place before? He seemed to have a number of M items, mainly older stuff and including the large gauge.

Yes, we are installed in our hotel in Bad Uberkingen, just south of Geislingen. I believe others have arrived at Hotel Hohenstaufen as well.

Looking forward to having a spa later, cheaper for being a hotel guest BigGrin BigGrin

haven't worked that out yet. However I do want to be at the Stauferpark reasonably early, so I can go down the museum and get wagons that I can take back to the car, and then probably go along to Leonard Weiss. You must take the trip on the VT795 from the railway station to Leonard Weiss if you haven't done it before.

Well from my above post (now see; https://www.marklin-user...-and-IMA-2017#post497431 )
we could add a visit to the Swiss Museum of Transport in Lucerne, where one of these beasties lies, waiting for you Juhan, in operational condition, I think, along with an AE 8/14 which is painted in the machinery green colour of M39590, altho it looks worse on the prototype (Just my HO)
We did that in a morning with Jacques, and for the afternoons entertainment, we went by paddle Steamer from the Wharf opposite the Museum to the Rigi & up one side and down the other, and train back to Lucerne, a particularly pleasant day ThumpUp
But no Chinese talking loudly, only Cow Bells jingling Wink

There is also a very nice and accurate DCC layout of the whole Gotthard line at the Museum Smile

Hi all

We've had a fabulous day. We started at the station and had plenty of photo opportunities for the BR44, 52, 01, 001 and 050. There was also the E94 and the VT795.

Then on to the Leornard Weiss centre to go under a look and some thunderboxes.

Then on to the halls.

I'm sure pictures will follow shortly.

Tomorrow is the factory tourBigGrin

Hi Art,

Thanks and your on, and please comment as we go, but I think the time has come for a new thread, which I'll work on and do some copy and pasting if one of the mods, doesn't do it first Sneaky Smile

And again, at this stage I am not assuming the role of tour Director, just putting the idea out there. I have been in touch with Nigel and asked him to comment ! Smile but he will be busy and may wait till he returns to the UK, but by which time he will be right into hosting "das Englanders" at his fabulous layout and home for their English Marklinists Meeting Cool

So why not add a stop in Vegas on the way home, or way there if one prefers ( I usually like to travel west about the globe, sail into the wind if you like, Wink ) , with Hong Kong my first stop, because the time zone changes are more kind and you pick up time all way ThumpUp , until you cross the Pacific, homeward bound, then lose a whole day ThumbDown but it too, LA - Auckland, or Sydney just fyi, is usually a night time flight, the best time to do long haul Wink Smile

As I have family in Seattle and the Boeing Factory Wink I would leave the US from there and have the option of Seatlle, Hawaii Drool Auckland with Hawaian Airlines oldish Airbus A330's, or Seattle LA or SF - Akl with Good old Air NZ in new Boeing 777 300ER's ThumpUp
Vegas just btw is a great place for a chill out, Lots of really good shows, the best value and nicest hotels you can find anywhere, and The Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam, nearby and all that great stuff, but that'd likely only concern the Australaisians ( Kiwis and Aussies ;)

Mrs Kelly and I are planning to attend in 2017, as well.

We'll combine it with vists to
  • Friedrichshafen, to have a Zeppelin ride
  • Munich, for Oktoberfest (not that we drink a lot of beer -- too many carbs!)
  • Salzburg and Budapest -- we've never been
  • stopovers in Hong Kong, to eat and shop!


Planning already, except the airlines only list fares 1 year in advance.

Hi all

Back on topicBigGrin

After a visit to the museum, we topped off the day by the trip behind the BR01ThumpUp This was the highlight of the trip for me and did a return trip to Amstetten. It was quite a climb up from Goppingen and plenty of opportunities for photos.

We also did the lokalbahn trip behind the BR75ThumpUp

I will post video clips next week.

I talked to a Märklin representative. He said that the model currently was under production. Deliverey about 2-3 weeks.
The model was presented at the Märklin stand. Sooo good...
regards

Here are a few shots and video of the IMA.

The 01 trip on the Geislinger Steige. This is the return trip where we had to pause for an ICE coming the other way.

I thought others might appreciate some impressions of this years Treff. I can not really compare it to past events, as it is only the second I have attended.

This year I thought the crowds were a bit smaller. I suspect the mixed weather had something to do with the attendance. There were also four venues, so that too may have thinned the crowds at each place. My earlier Treff there were three.

Over all I thought there was less for sale at the various displays. Preiser were not selling. They seemed to be concentrating on showing their new items. One member of this forum wanted to buy a locomotive from ESU, but they were on display only, not selling. Marklin and Brawa were selling.

There were two displays of restorers, who had done some amazing work with old Marklin and other makes. Some fo the restored items were from the late forties and fifties. One of them was selling, at up to 1400 euros for one item in its original box. To the untrained eye they looked brand new.

Marklin had a stand where you could assemble a locomotive for about 140 Euros. A number of the members of the forum had a go at it. I did too, well she was quite attractive, from Hungary. No, Marklin is not going to be taking me on as an assembler. Indeed she as good as said "Don"t give up your day job". Curiously, once assembled under her eagle eye, mine would not work on the test track. The supervisor came over, tested it, and in an impressive few seconds swapped out the decoder. It then worked well. He did in a matter of seconds what had taken me several minutes to do. No wonder they did not offer me a job.

One new thing I noticed, new to me anyway, was a system of digital couplers. They looked like mini Scharfeberg couplers that are put in the place of the usual ones. A decoder is then placed in the car, and assigned a number. By calling up that number that car can be uncoupled anywhere on the layout, and anywhere in the train. it was impressive to watch, but it made each freight car somewhat heavy. Pulling a long train equipped with this might be a problem.

I saw the Italian Z gauge layout. It was an impressive modelling of Monument Valley. I was struck by how much can be done in a small space. that said, Z is too small for me.

I saw the new 01, based on an East German model. It had the Boxpok wheels, and a long faring on top of the boiler. It is a beautiful model. They had it and the Bavarian Bull on roller test stands so you could see them in action. I am not sure the 01 is for me, as I have nothing to run it with. Those who have some East German DR rolling stock will be very tempted. It is beautiful.

I met Gale Cousins who is the new Marklin North America sales director. He is very enthuiastic, and comes from a model train background. He is based in the U.S. and will be staying based there. Maybe we will see better access to Marklin on this side of the pond. The new export sales manager was there too. He is Janko Franke. He too spoke of doing more to promote Marklin in North America. Fear not down under, I think he also has his sights on the antipodes!

Overall it was a wonderful experience. I met a number of members of this forum, and enjoyed their company very much.My apologies for missing the meeting at the overpass on Saturday. I can not even recall where I was at the appointed time, but it was not where I should have been.

My thanks to the various members of this forum who were there. They are wonderful patient teachers. They made it even more enjoyable. It was wonderful to meet with so many and talk Marklin.

I am planning on booking for 2017.

Hi Dreadnaught,

All very well said ThumpUp

I think it would be very interesting if you would tell us about your trip to the "Days" in company with Dr Eisenbahn, about the drive, the route and all the wonderful things I'm sure Jacques took you to see ?? how about it Wink

Can I put you on the list for the "Hoh" in 2017 see; https://www.marklin-user...arklin-Tage-and-IMA-2017
