Thanks for all your comments and advices. Märklin Start up - "Jim Button" Starter Set I bought the 'lava wagon' because I also have a couple of the 'kryptonite' wagons from previous years, but haven't otherwise bought any of the Jim Button series. Do note that the loco is somewhat larger than any HO loco which will become a problem if you have tunnels or overhead catenary, but all the other wagons are standard HO wagons.

Is it Jim Knopf or has it officially been translated as "Jim Button"?
I don't call the soccer (football) player Bastian PigClimber...

Mike C Yes, it is Jim Knopf translated. Sometimes it happens, like for the race driver Michael Schumacher, who sometimes is translated into "Mike Shoemaker", although it is incorrect. As you know, a shoe in German is "Schuh" not "Schu". Would understand it a bit better, if they would have said "Jim Chap". But it is strange to me. A bit like "central station".
