I finally got a couple of loops under the tree - as soon as the presents are cleared I would like to put a loop of M track inside the digital loops so I can run my non-digital stuff, and put in some of my 50's Faller buildings too. you can see I don't care much about era. Since I don't have a "permanent" layout, I will be bringing out my collection a few pieces at a time to give them a run. No marklin presents for me, unless I count the Br05 Insider, which will be arriving after Christmas - so I guess it will be my present to myself for the Orthodox Christmas. here's the overall tree - and dog  another of my buddy (Bran - like Finn MacCool's dog) - he doesn't care much about the trains, except for when the horn blows.

Jon - Everything looks great including the tree, dog, etc., except for the Steelers carpet! Glad I don't see the Terrible Towel handing somewhere.

<br />So, what train related items are under the Christmas tree this year?
Probably none. There's no local Marklin store with any stock, and my wife thinks it's all a waste of time and money!!

Well Santa brought me two trainrelated items. The very nice Roco freight car set 44002 and a detailed model of a french steam engine to put on display. And I'm happy with that, I feel I have reached a point where I have enough items from Märklin.

Thank you Larry. [:I] The Messwagen's purpose is to test the Catenary height with motor driven pantographs. It has three lights, red, yellow and green, telling the status. I am not familiar with it yet, as I have no Catenary system to test. Hopefully I will get that when I get around to build a permanent layout. Happy holidays to you and your loved ones. |

Got my 39890 which is now running very nicely round the layout. Looks like the new motor is a winner. Good detail on the loco although the horn could be better. All in all a great present from my wife and a good model from Marklin.

As promised, some pics of what I got from Santa: Mehano Vossloh HLD, Type 77/78 of the NMBS:  Complete with loksound decoder. Roco 46077 Tanker:  Roco 47201:  And a nice Volvo truck from AWM automodelle:  The cool thing about this one is that a good friend of mine works for "De Rese transport" and drives this exact truck! It's been a good christmas! |

Unfortunately no surprises under the tree for me this year... However there is one train related item under the tree... A cheap plastic "Train Master" battery operated huge train set for my son's little half-brother of 5 yrs. If he likes to play with that, there will be a Märklin digital starter set next year for him...
