Joined: 03/05/2013(UTC) Posts: 83		Hi all on Australia's 4th day of spring, and its a scorcher all ready!! Looking through the 2017 catalog I saw the new item for kids(and their dads). It was the Building Block Car set 44736 complete with three ready to build brick kits. It doesn't say that it is, but I assume that this is compatible with that other Danish plastic brick company? I've looked in my spares box and may have a go at making my own"building brick" wagon to see how we go. I've already made a flat wagon out of an old Triang and some Mega blocks, now donated to my railway club for the kiddy layout.

Here is a Stummi forum with some pictures re: the 44734 and the indication I get is that "The Danish Blocks" (Is this like having to say "The Scottish Play"? ) are fully compatible. And the Märklin site equates all 4 of these items. So, I am going out on a limb and "Yes"! https://www.stummiforum.de/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=127893 And you can get extra LightStax blocks here if you really want to light up your life: https://lightstax.com/ LightStax are used on the 44737 and 44738 cars.

Remember, it is the sworn duty of every dad to thoroughly test every toy given to his son. Dads also must demonstrate and assist their son's in the proper use of that toy as well!

Whisper Mode Off LEGO - LEGO! Märklin! Märklin! Whhheeeeeeeeee! Jimmy

The building block car 44734 is still availbale. https://www.maerklin.de/...s/details/article/44734/ And see the Start-up catalogue offers for 2019 (be careful to show it to your kids. Could get expensive. ) http://www.maerklinfanclub.de/en/ (see the section "The Wagons for Builders" ) http://www.maerklinfancl...Builders/1317.9.291.html http://streaming.maerkli...talog2019_online_EN_.pdf and happy searching https://www.maerklin.de/...start-up/product-search/

I had never seen this before, Maybe 'issu.com' just posted them? Oy! Some mighty talented brickers out there. And some good ideas for our Märklin Block layout.
