Hi Mehmet,
Thanks for showing the DHG 700 series.
There is quite an array of those models.
...... Unfortunately I don't have one yet.
But our friends, family Hotz in Michelstadt often have good ones for sale.

Back then, they were kids, whereas now they are aging Baby-Boomers or middle-aged Generation X. To make them buy new products, Märklin had to introduce digital in the 1980s, limited series in the late '80s, era I and II items in the '70s, sound locos in the late '90s, mfx in the early 2000s, later mfx+, and more recently mfx/DCC decoders, exotic models that you'd hardly ever see in reality, etc. Manufacturers didn't have a choice, but even all of the innovations on my list couldn't stop the industry from shrinking. MRR will survive as a niche hobby ... Best regards, Mark Edited by user 30 May 2019 22:24:10(UTC)

Best regards, Mark
I like Märklin items produced in the 1960s or early '70s, but also digital locos & current rolling stock. |

Hi Mehmet,
Thanks for showing this series of models, they are interesting.
I find the differences in the V160/BR216/217/218 a bit confusing due to a shortfall in my research.
In this series there is a mix of plastic and metal models.
One thing that I prefer for a model is an all (or mostly) metal construction, certainly in the body.
Or as the Germans say a Metallausführung or Gusshausführing.

Kimball Hi Kimball, Though I have not been able to finish this class yet, due to lack of time.  But I can tell you the oldest one is most powerful and sturdy one...  Mä 3075.2 BR 216 DB 216 025-7 produced 1968...  Cheers, mehmet |

That is just superb, and very inspiring too. I am just moving away from the 'train on the floor' stage of the hobby; your layout is something to aspire to.

I know, my wallet is already in agony, and I've only just started with a few old, small locomotives.... and a Rivarossi Cab-forward 4-8-8-2 I am enjoying the detail photos you are posting.
