...here is a little film.....DB 44 690 is just before her new trial.....I wonder any of you can tell how many passenger cars there are behind HER....I do not wish to make your job difficult...here comes two clues.... 1- the number is over 100
2-the better contacts you have with Maerklin,the higher chances you have...   |

Whatever the number of coaches (+/- 1) this is simply wonderful. First of all, you had a lot of fun with your friends, and that counts more than *any* records! I have always said this BR 44 was probably the best Märklin puller ever build, and your test proves it "abundantly"! BTW, I like the way you create large radius curves with the M-track "flex-rail" feature "Necessity is the mother of invention" (was it Robinson Crusoe?) I have however some news for you: two of my BR 44 have been converted to digital with 5 poles motors...and they pull even better than my analog ones!  Cheers and thank you again for sharing the moment! (PS: I'll have to make the Istanbul run on the VSOE...one day!) |

Cheers and thank you again for sharing the moment! (PS: I'll have to make the Istanbul run on the VSOE...one day!) Hi Jacques, Thank you for the interest a lot... Please alow me make two things clear: I have always preferred the word 'trial' to 'record'. and I do not remember saying that analog engines pull better than digital ones. Cheers, mehmet ps: Please remember to find some room for your precious 5-star digital BR 44 beauties on the Orient...who knows we might give them a quick trial.... |
