Team Question on the Marklin track plan books
I understand the track plan book 0700 came out with a four language translated supplement 0703 right?
I am trying to find out if the track plan book 0390 was also published in English? (the online version is in German)
Cheers Sprogger

Cheers Sprogger Yes, you are correct regarding the 0703 book (it is actually the 0702 book). I have scanned it, and the download link for it is in my post above. 0390 did come out in English. Again the download link for it is in the above post - 4th link down under 'Track Plan Books'.

Sorry Sprogger, my bad. I was thinking of another track plan book. What you want is the 0391 book, which has the English translation. Download link is in the above post. The scan that has been uploaded appears to only have the English translation, the actual book also has translations for 4 other languages. I think I have this book at home, so will have to rescan it with all languages.

My pleasure Darrin, However, please note that you first take the plug from the socket when all transformers are off otherwise there is power at the pins you go out to spin 180 degrees. This is also the reason why Märklin not today talk about the possibility. To see the originally provided instructions to an analog Starter kit is here: http://www.majhost.com/g...21_tnn_1271_ju_10_11.jpg |

I happened to stumble over this thread and would just like to point out that the owner of the German website and forum http://alte-modellbahnen.foren-city.de/ has recently received a nasty letter from a lawyer who said that he represents Marklin (or some other German model train manufacturer). The website owner was ordered to immediately remove a catalog archive which was only accessible to registered forum users. Due to a peculiarity of the German legal system, the forum owner was also requested to pay the fees of this laywer (something like 900 Euros). I don't know if Marklin's "long arm" will extend to the people here who offer access to such catalog scans, but I thought you might be interested to know of these developments.

Has anyone downloaded any track information on "C" track? I'm just looking for the rail configuretions, specifically I have the high speed switches and the crossover to match. I'm trying to caculate what is the straight piece to connect the parallel switches. I have two parallel tracks with the "X" using these switches.
Thanks,

Dale Schultz created a small program which you can use to calculate track sizes needed to make up a specific length. It works for M, C and K track.
It should be able to be found on his website.

Robert I assume you are using two pairs of the 24711/24712 turnouts and the 24640 crossing to make a double turnout. I also assume you know you need to use 24071 straight tracks at the end of the turnouts (8 required. The 24071 tracks have removable side roadbed and the turnouts come with a piece that replaces the pieces removed. I have AnyRail track planning software and I have been playing with this configuration. The straight pieces needed for the parallel tracks where the crossover section is at is an odd size. It is larger than a 24172 but smaller than a 24188. I have tried combinations of smaller pieces, but nothing seems to fit. If my assumptions are wrong with what you are using, let me know and I'll see what comes out in AnyRail. Robert

Robert-1,
I was not going to use the 24071 between the switch and the wide angle crossover 24740, not 24640. Just place the 24740 and attach the 24711 / 24712 directly to it. Since 24740 is 236.1mm in length, I thought the straight piece connecting the straight portion of the switchess would also be 236.1mm and would use 24236 straight track.
I'm waiting for the corssover to see if 24236 would be the correct iece. I don't have any of those items YET..
Thanks,
Robert-2 |

Thanks,
Robert-2 The length of the 24740 is the same as the 24236. However, when you connect one end of the 24740 to a 24711 or a 24712, the other leg of the 24740 in now parallel to the mainline and does not match up to the other turnout. It is the wrong angle, half of what you need. That is why the 24640 is the right crossover, it is double the angle (24.3 degrees) of a single 24711/24712 (12.1 degrees). The 24740 is also 12.1 degrees, but that is half of what you need. And if you don't use the 24071 on the end of the turnouts, the roadbeds of the adjoining tracks will hit each other, stopping the tracks from joining, unless you manually cut the roadbed of the adjoining tracks. I have the 24711/24712 turnouts and you must use the 24071 tracks without cutting the roadbed. If you have one of the Marklin catalogs, say the 2009/2010, look at the 23740 on page 240 and the turnout description the 24711/24712 on page 243 and they talk about the need for the 24071s. In fact, I don't know why Marklin doesn't sell the 24711/24712 turnouts and the 24740 with the needed 24071s, but you have to purchase them separately. I think I saw a post here recently that to make up a double crossover with the smaller turnouts requires that tracks are cut to fit. I guess the same holds true for the 24711/24712. And of course, after making these up with standard pieces, the two parallel mainline tracks are no where near the spacing that you would have normally. Let me know if I can help in any other way. Robert

Robert, Thanks for pointing that out to me. I have studied page 243 for hours on end and just couldn't calculate the double crossing. Brain farts I guess. I was looking for the some rail plans and I guess I need to purchase the "C" track plan book to see what goes together. I was looking at the Marklin website trying to find what track pieces I need to construct a double crossover. I like the 24711/12 switches because the passenger cars don't do the "cha cha" when passing through them. I have 6 pair of these switches so I guess I will need to purchase a pair of 24071's for each switch plus an additional 4 for the crossover. Send me an Email and we can discuss this further. Thanks again for your assistance. Robert Edited by user 12 October 2010 22:41:59(UTC)

I hope I didn't misunderstand you. Meise pointed out a solution that works without cutting the tracks: http://stummi.foren-city...nken-weichen.html#184499See post by Meise, "Verfasst am: 14 Dez 2007 13:38". Nice solution for a train station where you can have a platform between the tracks. |

Tom,
Thank you for the link. What I was thinking about was having 24740 replace 24624. Now I see a problem, since 24711/12 are 12.1 degree angle I would need double that or 24.2 for the crossover. Am I correct?

Hello I wonder if anyone has scanned the brochures that were in the home in start set Nº 2905 and Nº 2965 or the Small plan track book N º 0710. as well as all marklin is brochures published to date.

The short answer is no, at least on my part, simply because I don't have them.
Most of the latest Marklin brochures are available in pdf format, e.g. Marklin always makes the New Items, the Summer New Items, and the Fall New Items all available in pdf. They don't make the catalog available in pdf, which is why I have scanned them.

First at all, this is my first post (I registered just a couple of hours ago) I would like to thank to all the contributors (scanners, those guys that uploaded pics and etc) all of you have done a great job. The tracks plans will be very useful for my son and myself. I found, last saturday stored at my parents house, my old Märklin set S+E+T1 (early 80 I believe), that my dad, gave to me and my brother, when I was 10 (today I´m 33). I want to make a permanent layout at my home and this forum will be a definitive help to end in a successfully project. Regards from Argentina. Diego. |

Judging by the file names Jon, most of those files you have are the ones I uploaded to Rapidshare. See my post of 25 September 2009 in this thread. If you didn't get them from Rapidshare, then I suspect you probably brought a DVD from an Australian ebay dealer (I see you are in Australia) who has downloaded my files and is making DVD's of them and selling them to unsuspecting buyers. Because of this, I doubt that I will be uploading any more files to Rapidshare.

I purchased these from a dealer in the US. I have them on two DVDs that he made and thought it may be useful for other collectors. The fact that you had files uploaded on Rapidshare doesn't help your case considering all the illegal material which derives from there and you have the cheek to try and tell me where I got some not all of similar files you had from and then proceed to tell me I then sold your files on eBay... Get over yourself buddy. and just for future reference Mr Wedde I wouldnt be so quick on playing detective, leave that to the professionals. We all know asumption is the .. well we all know dont we Firstly, I would suggest to you that it is not good form to suggest to a forum moderator that he should 'Get over yourself buddy' - especially from someone who has just joined the forum. Secondly, show me in my post where I suggested YOU were selling my files. The reference I made was to an unknown Australian ebay dealer who was on selling them, no where did I suggest that that was you! To clarify, most of the files I uploaded were scanned by me, at the cost of a considerable amount of my time, and because others are now profiteering from them, I doubt they will be on Rapidshare for much longer.
As for Rapidshare, well that was a convenient place to put the files so that Marklin fans worldwide could freely have access to them. Many people have downloaded them, including at least 2 other Marklin specific mirror sites, and that is fine, but I do object to people profiteering from my and others hard work. Lastly, I'm not your 'buddy', and we have rules in this forum regarding showing respect to other members, and to the moderators/webmaster. I suggest you follow them in future! /BDNZ Edited by moderator 18 March 2011 03:29:29(UTC)

David, may your moderating powers continue to grow in strenth in your online own little fantasy world. Must be the small town sindrome I think, but hey what ever floats your boat. Bye buddy.
PS have you told your mates on here that you didnt scan those files only uploaded them from where you downloaded them from. Sad that you feel the need to bull sh*t your way up the ladder, very sad.

Actually, most of those files I did scan myself, there are many people who can attest to that fact. Some were obtained from Emule and maybe other websites (approx 1/4 to 1/3 of them), but the rest were scanned by me. I can even dig out the originals to compare with the scans, not that you would obviously take that as proof of anything. I borrowed many of the originals (especially the 1950's catalogs) from a fellow Marklin club member, some I had in my collection, and the rest came from our club's library - I wish I had left the club's stamp on the scans, but I removed them for obvious reasons. Any future scans that I make available will be watermarked to avoid any confusion. As I said, I was not making any accusations against you, you are free to purchase whatever you want to off ebay. My contention is with those who use my stuff that I have made freely available to anyone who wants it, for their own profit. Since you are obviously incapable of coming on to this forum and showing respect where you should be, and using offensive language (once again, against forum rules - there are kids who read this), you are obviously not a fit and proper person to be here. The last person who abused the moderators/webmaster got suspended. I'm afraid you will have to join him. Edited by user 18 March 2011 16:30:46(UTC)
