Hi,
I am looking for the Marklin magazine article from 2013 that deals with analog control of trains. There is a copy of this article you can download from marklin's website but it is in German only. Does anybody know where I could find this article in english?
thanks,
Jamie

I will most likely have it in scanned form. I'll check when I get home.
Do you know which edition in 2013 it was published in?

Thanks for posting the link. Would be too much to ask if you could post the other two parts of the series. I would appreciate that.

Sorry, the first pages are the same, but the article is different.
On mm in english the article for beginners is divided in six parts. |

I will have them all, but you'll have to wait until I get home from work before I can post the articles.

Thanks for sharing those files. I love the little layout that is described in those pages. This is the sort of "less is more" modelling that I admire, and in a similar area to that which I have available too!
When I retire I plan to rebuild my layout so that I can start again with a clean slate and attempt this approach. I like to see a "railway in a landscape" rather than scenery squeezed in to the space available when you've fitted in all the tracks possible. The railway also has to exist for a purpose, and not just go around in circles aimlessly.
Now all I have to do is figure out what to do with all my main-line trains.... |
Ray
Mostly Marklin.Selection of different eras and European railways
Small C track layout, control by MS2, 100+ trains but run 4-5 at a time.

The last issue kindly posted above is 2014-5 and that article ends by mentioning "in the next and last part" and talking about trains and ideas for which etc. Any chance someone has that available to share?

I am lookin for the 02/2018 issue of the Marklin Magazine in English. If anyone has the link to it, I would greatly appreciate it. I am trying to figure out how to build the bench work for the HO scale C track layout. Thanks for the help. Joe

Märklin only issues special articles from the MM on its website, but only in German. You only can get there via the German homepage from Märklin. https://www.maerklin.de/...rklin-magazin/downloads/In the MM 02/2018 Märklin published the following layout. Hopefully the link leads you to the layout you are looking for. http://streaming.maerkli...8_Gleisplaene_031618.pdf

Thank you Alsterstreek for reminding me of my old Marklin 3600 track layout. I had so much fun with that layout, even more so because my two boys were still young then and love to run trains and AMS. @For Oma; In this thread you can see some of my Trix Express: https://www.marklin-user...-Trix-Express#post566441A good source for Trix Express info is the German Trix Express forum, see here: https://www.trix-archiv.de(There you can find all Trix Express catalogs from 1935 to 1996) Another great Trix Express site is: https://trixstadt.deUnfortunately those 2 sites are German language only. Here you can find lots of Trix Express info in English: http://www.trix-twin.co.uk/hist1.htmBTW, It is not unusual to use classic Marklin and Trix Express tracks on a single layout, such a layout is called a Matrix layout. I sure hope you post a bit more of your Trix Express here on the forum. We need more Trix Express on M-U.!  Marco |

Right now I have our dining room table (my wife’s suggestion!) covered with my Trix in pieces. I am going through it to see what is still serviceable .Unfortunately age and transatlantic travel did take its toll. Most of track is still good. Turnouts and switches and such did not survive with exception one turn out. Locomotive and three cars still usable although couplings in various stages of broken. Like Santa Claus I am making a list to see what I need. Wiring will be my trial for the Trix and the Marklin as I am electrically challenged. Thanks again. Steve
