hi janne

I haven't bought anything for 2 months and I was desperate for a new engine

so this morning I bought 3 sets at auction
29131
29438
29855
that should cheer me up when they arrive

I have a few sets but I will have to explore the boxes to find out what I have



alan plymouth

Ohhhhh, too many
But that is because rather to buy lots of individuals coaches and waggons i prefer to buy specific sets with the whole train. later, if i think it can grow more, i buy some specific cars.
Regards

And talking about sets, i want some cars to go with my EP3/6 - 37060 - Does anybody knows some set that match?
I have found some Trix 3 axles wagons that i thing would match, but not as a set
Regards

Some...

I won´t go with references, because... I can´t be bothered ;-)

Complete consists;

1) My current favorite is 2 sets of 4 green epoc III german passenger cars; I´ve then left one of the luggage cars out, and added a dark red DSG dining car. Its a very lovely (and long!) consist behind a BR03.

2) Classic Rheingold metal set (5 waggons) behind a BR18.3

3) Epoc III Rheingold set (4 waggons) from Rivarossi. -Stregthened with 2 additional waggons. (oficial add-ons to the set!). These are all 303mm long ones. Looks great behind the Märklin E19!

4) The old Flughafen Zug made of 3 Silberlinge, headed by a BR111 with single-legged pantos. (Einholstromabnemer¿?)

5) Classic ICE protoype train. (Analog one with motorized units in both ends.) Strengthened with an additional middle-waggon.


I´ve also got a couple of freight sets. -But they only consists of 2-3 waggons each, so I use them in other consists...
F.ex; Maersk container cars.
Herningvaerket coal cars.
Swiss tanker cars; exlusive set made for a tanker cars company anniversarry a couple of decades ago... Cant remember the name, but the company colours seems to be white and blue and silver.

Only one day Ian? :)

Hi Alan,

You will like that 29855 set. It is a nice one. I have basically everything from that set except some of the freight cars. I like those passenger coaches very much and bought the extension set 42758 + two extra cars (DSG and blue one) to have a long train!

I have actually two 29855 BR 18.4 and soon another E40 too. I like both of these locos very much. They are both very high quality and well worth the money spent. That E40 is an awesome puller. I have pulled over 100 freight cars with it! I will use only the frame and electronics of the second 29855 E40 and put my 3039 E110 locos body to it. Then I have a good running older looking E110 as my 3740 looks too new era to my taste.

These sets will surely cheer you up Alan!

Cheers,

Janne

Hi,

I also have the EP 3/6 37060 and don't know what it should pull? Was it only for passenger trains or also freight trains? I think only passenger trains...

Cheers,
Janne

Hi,

I also like green color in trains and prefer darker red dining cars and not too bright colored trains anyway. That BR 03 pulling passenger coaches must look awesome. I like long trains too as they look more realistic. But older trains can be quite short and look beautiful with, say 3-4 cars only.

You have many really nice trains. Enjoy!

Cheers,

Janne

Hi Janne,

I'm not going to list them individually, I'll list them in 3 groups....

Set's with a Loco and either coaches or goods wagons...60.

Set's with just Loco's...8

Set's with just coaches or goods wagons...20...make that 22, forgot my plane and tank Set's.

All those Set's are in my Display Cabinets....all the boxes are kept in the house.

All the best.

Ian.

Hi Janne,

Should you ever find yourself in Edinburgh, Scotland, then you'd be more than welcome to drop by for a look round the Train Room.

OR.... a run out in the Firebird.

All the best.

Ian.

And I copy both, Ian and Brandon.

Flat styrofoam trays:
1 x 42992 Wagenset "Westerland"
1 x 47904 Wagenset "Kolonialwaren"
1 x 47889 Wagenset "Italienische Klassik"

I re-started my hobby with these 11 years ago.

Recently:
2 x 47785 tin plate box car set "NYC / Southern"

Plus the odd piece of rolling stock from various "cannibalized" sets.

Hi,

I will look forward in seeing some photos of these when you will get them.

Janne

Janne,

S 3/6 and later 18.4 were very efficient and powerful locomotives, I don't think it's too much of a stretch. 18.4 was one of the locos that pulled the big Rheingold coaches in rather long consists.

-Brandon

Whoops, didn't read carefully enough. Thanks...

I tend to buy everything second hand.

8900 Freight starter set
8901 Express starter set
8101 Push-Pull Train
8103 Track Work Train
8163 Freight Train Starter Set
8185 Swiss Freight Starter Set
81861 Freight Train Starter Set

The two newer sets were bought mainly for their track and controllers.

I have also been trying to collect everything from the first catalogue.

Hi,

Thanks for correcting Brandon about EP 3/6 vs. S 3/6. I also think automaticly steam locomotives when I see that 3/6 . Do you think a real prototype EP 3/6 could pull four of these 4-axle coaches? It was not very strong locomotive, but at least it was electric locomotive so maybe it would have been possible? Other thing is it's slow speed so it could not have been pulled express trains. I don't even know if these coaches could have been used in other trains too?

I agree though, that it would look better with 3-axle ones.

Regards,

Janne

I don't have followed the price structure with Märklin sets but this is another way of buying Märklin products cheaper in the long run, instead of buying a singkle item at the time.

I used to have all of the trains sets Märklin produced in the 1908's and onwards but than stopped buying them, all I have left is the Airport Express (old paint scheme 111. 103), the 3001 set with carriages, 3371 and the EP 5 (BR E 152) Bavarian set with 3 coaches and the extension set with another 2 coaches.

Too right John,

When Uncle Thorsten arranged to get me the 29640 "mega" set with the 60215 CS2 (delivered from Germany) it cost me less at the time than I could buy a 60213 CS2 with a old 60052 AC 60w power supply locally in Australia.

Best part was I got 2 loks I wanted (with sound) and a selection of wagons/coaches and track. I would have been a FOOL not to get it.

Sometimes the "sets" are the best way to go to get what you want.

Hi Janne and Alan,
I concur, the E40 from that set is one of my favorite locos.
I bought it for a reasonable price on eBay, but it developed running problems soon after, so I sent it to Marklin, and it came back as good as new.
As you say, an awesome puller.

Kimball

Same here, added 4 extras accumulated since my post above Post 40 above

Hi all,

I updated my list and modified it so it is now easier to read...

Cheers,
Janne
