Hey everyone,
Looks like I will be passing through Munich on a work trip at the end of this month, and I was wondering if there was any great marklin shops to visit? I'd be into seeing a dealer that has a huge amount of used stock, or a super-discounter of new items. (yes, I will be on a buying spreebiggrin )

Any suggestions? Time is tight or I'd go see them all!

Thanks!

Hi there - you may not find too many stores in Munich that discount M. The best place to go is the Blumenhalle Markt on Saturdays - full of interesting used stuff.

However "Gleis 11" at 16 Bayernstr. on the south side of Munich Hbf is a Maerklin Shop in Shop and there are others dotted around the city. Also try "Conrad Electronics" at Tal 29 in the city center - and there is a much larger store at Moosach, Hanauer Str. 91 but this is some distance out to the north , always lots of good stuff. Let me know how you get on.

Sometimes Obletter (now Mueller) has items on sale at the Stachus across from the train station.

And the Auto-technic museum is well worth a visit.

Also the Deutsches Museum is worth a visit, even if I visited in 2 days !

Just to enlarge on Renato's post, the museum has a large Flieschmann layout which is operated at scheduled times. And a warning - if you go to the museum be very clear about what you want to see - it is VAST!

I have dealt with Gleis 11 before and was happy with the service. If you go to maerklin.de, click on Haendler and then Haendlersuche, enter Muenchen, you will find a list of all official dealers.

Remember, if you are not often in Germany, that you can find some exclusives here and there, for example, Conrad has released a series of special loks (SBB Re 482 RAG, etc), Eurotrain (Idee und Spiel) has also commissioned special models (including the recent DHL/GATX tank cars). You can find these and other models at these websites:

www.conrad.de
www.eurotrain.de

I am sure that if you look around, you will be able to find all kinds of special items from Roco, Fleischmann, Trix and Maerklin (to name a few) that will look wonderful in your collection or on your layout.

Regards
