Just started buying Marklin a few weeks ago, here's my two first locos. The 3042 on the right turned up a few days before the 3323 on the left, both are in good shape and run well. Apologies for the workbench mess behind them!

Yep, we've got lots of railways too...

Incidentally, does anyone know if the HAG locos are worth buying? I've found one or two for sale here http://www.modelfair.com/acatalog/HAG.html but don't know if that's a fair price? I like the look of it but £100 is a lot of money for a used loco.

Nice to see old Marklin models, I like them so much! Thank you!
You know what?
Since Kingsbridge has been buying Marklin, price of old Marklin models from the 50's (even early 60's), increase a lot!Sometimes 100% or more!Just within a few months.
Specially those old models with strong mechanic.
It is the reaction of collectors.So suddenly.... Strange isn'it?
In association with other factors, expression of a strong doubt about the future of Marklin as a reliable & good quality items manufacturer(?).
Marklin has now to proove and to show that they want to stay a prestigious name into miniature trains manufacturing.

Thanks, Al. Yep, I know her from your site - your red beauty is the real CAPITOLE,
cruising Paris - Toulouse Cool

BTW, mine got the older style reverse unit (star-shaped drum plus six contact blades).
Perfect relay adjustment is darn iffy til impossible since this ancient thing (not original)
changes behavior as soon as motor reaches regular working temperature.
If adjusted cold it won't work properly when motor is warm, and vice versa ... [xx(]

Guess I'll get her one nice UB76200, soon Smile

The Marklin catalogue number is 37231.

Probably the same bodyshell as my 3042 then - I was wondering if Marklin had made two variants. Mine runs very smoothly but is rather noisy!

<br />Nice to see old Marklin models, I like them so much! Thank you!
You know what? Since Kingsbridge has been buying Marklin, price of old Marklin models from the 50's
(even early 60's), increase a lot! Sometimes 100% or more! Just within a few months.
Specially those old models with strong mechanic. It is the reaction of collectors.
So suddenly ... Strange isn'it?

You are so right, Roland ... Smile
BTW, did you see the famous French World Record Electric SNCF BB9000 I've added today ? Cool (page 3)



Are you writing about the 9004 on page 3?
Of course, John, I've seen it!!How could I miss it !
Thank you!
It's a mythical machine. 350 Km/h record in the fifties!
Last year, Roco has made a new model of the 9004, with plastic body-Quite ordinary model. ( first half of production serie has been re-paint. Because they started to paint the underframe in green . Instead of producing new models they had to repaint the underframe in grey.They have done it at the factory as the French whole saler warned them about the mistake.Easy to see that the underframe is covered by a different bright varnish) ; So if you ever buy Roco model, choose last productions !

Lemaco model is a very nice replica. All metal.

The Marklin model of 9200 was born in the fifties. In spite of the thickness of metal, this old model is true scale,sizes are pretty good!( just a little higher on wheels like all models of the fifties!)
What about the red Capitol" with cars!
Marklin model of the whole train " Capitol" is also a mythical model!
( valuable too)

Didn't know this very special beauty is all metal - thanks, Roland Smile

Edit: Had a brief glance at their site www.lemaco.ch - they made excellent handcrafted brass models Cool
Alas - they will close down their business by end of year. On the other hand no big loss for us. All DC ...

Ray, we saw the prototype during helper duty at Tauernbahn-Rampe (darn steep !!!) when in Bad Gastein
last year (alas, no 1020 Gators, anymore). She works as a remote controlled pusher at the end of heavy
freight trains (double header Taurus) going south. With her job done she's running downhill, again -
waiting for the next one Cool

<br />BTW, mine got the older style reverse unit (star-shaped drum plus six contact blades).
Perfect relay adjustment is darn iffy til impossible since this ancient thing (not original)
changes behavior as soon as motor reaches regular working temperature.
If adjusted cold it won't work properly when motor is warm, and vice versa ... [xx(]

Found a brand new reverse unit #2 in my parts box. Now she's switching perfectly nice and is original, again [^]
