At the open house at RLD hobbies, my wife bought some second hand Marklin Maxi items. She got the pair of Union Pacific F7s that I am repainting into Chessie System colors. I also removed the digital board and replaced it with a battery pack and a toggle switch for now. It will get RC control once I remember where I put everything to do that. It was between the Maxi F units and the LGB version. The LGB looks better, but its sooo much larger and would have clearance issues on our small layout. Where as the Maxi fits quite nicely. She also got 2 of the UP passenger coaches, UP Caboose and a Western Pacific box car. All the UP items will get redone into Chessie system. So far the F unit has run nearly 3 hours on the battery that saw several hours of use at the open house running my LGB Stainz, and still has not needed recharging. Mike and Michele T

The layout is mine, mostly for my LGB trains. We are getting ready to build a gauge 1 loop along the fence at the rear of our property as I have traded 3 of my small live steamers for an Aster gauge 1 live steam. A SBB Eb 3/5. Just a pretty little 2-6-2T, alcohol fired. I have 3 Marklin gauge 1 cars that I have picked up for the steamer to pull. Pics of the new engine soon Mike
