Hello,
I am impressed with all you are showing in this thread! Amazing and impressive.
Big congratulations to you and your team doing all this!!
I am just curious of what a Märklin BigBoy can pull. Would love to see 1000 wagons over 1Km in an oval. I think the couplers could be a serious problem and probably they needed to be changed to metal ones. I also don't have idea if the BigBoy can pull more than your analog BR44...
|
Best regards,
Miguel
Mostly Märklin H0.

Hello Miguel, I would like to accept your congratulations on behalf of our TEAM.... And alsoBIG thank you for your interest to the EVENT..... I can not say much about what a BIGBOY can do since I haven't got one....  but I have no doubt A BIGBOY can do much BETTER than my old analog LADY.....  Who knows? Maybe one day somebody among US can reply your question....  Until then we have got to manage with my DB 44.....  Cheers, mehmet |

Hi Mehmet, yes, it's so true. You couldn't do this alone and it would be no fun either without good friends to enjoy it with. Peter
