Which is this bridge ?

UserPostedImage






























It is the bridge that connects two continents - two cultures - two men and finally two friends.

Excellent!

Would you have met without the forum?

Just curious since it is the main purpose of the forum - to build bridges around the world between people and cultures with the same common interest, those little trains... Smile

Let me add a double WOW. I got lost trying to follow his track plan.
It appears he has every thing that Marklin has to offer.
I would like to see pictures of his wall cases that are also filled with wonderful Marklin "goodies."

I have learned some wonderful ideas form looking at all the layouts that members on the form have shared and I really appriciate it.

I guess when I travel, I need to bring at least one "train" to operate on members' layouts.

When I was still flying before I retired, I would always pack some Z scale trains to run on the club layout in Ramstein, Germany.
That is where I learned about Z scale and it was just the right size to fit into aircrew quarters that I had in the early 90s.

Hi mehmet and Antonios,

mehmet my friend, how have I missed this wonderful topic, I only just looked thro' it this morning.

What a great story, two forum members meeting and becoming good friends, the photo's of your layout (Wow!!!) and then the "Märklin Wall's that make up your train room.

Just tremendous, and Antonios, thankyou for the photo's.

Hi Antonios and Mehmet,

What a beautiful story.

For me too the 10th anniversary meeting was an important experience in my life which I will not forget.

Mehmet, your layout and walls full of Marklin models are the dreams for all the Marklin fans.

This is where the CIWL trains with white painted coaches departed in the 1920's and 30's to get all the way to Cairo and Baghdad!

Hello again - hello steventrain(?)

I preferred to control and play with mehmet's diorama so ..

I told to my little son gauge that lamps.
But he preferred to play with the diorama too.

UserPostedImage


My greatest son stopped counting when he met a pink house.

UserPostedImage


My wife wondered about this and tried to see what's in this house.

UserPostedImage


After that all three preferred to play with the diorama.RollEyes RollEyes RollEyes

UserPostedImage



What was in this house?

Let mehmet tell us about it ...

Every square centimeter in mehmet's diorama is a different story

( unit length at SI - system Internationale is 1m and 1cm is (1/100)m or 1cm=0.032feet=0.393inches Tongue BigGrin BigGrin )

This is where the CIWL trains with white painted coaches departed in the 1920's and 30's to get all the way to Cairo and Baghdad!
Those were the days!

For me too the 10th anniversary meeting was an important experience in my life which I will not forget.

Mehmet, your layout and walls full of Marklin models are the dreams for all the Marklin fans.

Cheers
