By the way, in the Insider Club Order Form, I see only two (2) items listed for 2020. One is the Catalog (Item #15712), and the Startup Club Annual Car (Item #47620). Why is the Insider Club Annual Car (Item #48170) not listed. What about the other Insider Club items? Cheers, Ranjit

Yep it was Issue 2 of 2020 with a slight water damage on the rear of the envelope , It hadn't seeped thru to the contents so all was well . After a quick look at the contents it looks like a reasonable day of reading considering the rain which is forecast . Cheers Tom in Oz .

The Covid crisus has already caused Marklin to say there will NOT be a second model. I think it was announced in the Insider 03 magazine.

Joined: 04/08/2018(UTC) Posts: 261		One small thing is that Marklin plans to announce a new insider 25 years HO wagon. the current (44534) glass tank wagon is sold out, and they will not make more. I hope Marklin will reconsider this, and make more of the 44534 instead of making a new wagon.

In that blue it looks more like a Marklin Magazine collection wagon. I guess this may make it more rare as people won't take up the offer ...

Joined: 14/12/2002(UTC) Posts: 775 Location: Newcastle NSW Australia		04/05 arrived today sometime between 1500 & 1700 . Found as I was putting out the garbage for collection tomorrow morning . Aust had a horse race called the Melbourne Cup which normally stops the nation but due to the big "C" there was no visitors allowed to the race track . so most people would have stopped work to view the proceedings on TV which would possibly explain the late delivery today . Cheers Tom in Oz .

Choose: Club Film - A Year with Märklin You'll find other videos from Märklin TV under My Club as well. It's not as confusing as it sounds. Good luck and enjoy! Sid

The one about 'whistling for drinks' also reminded me of a story from the railways in New Zealand.

The one on the front cover could appear at first look to have a dodgy coupling, but that's because of the perspective with hoses in behind and the pickup shoe underneath giving the impression of something weird going on.

I was looking at the spots of rust on the coupling. It looks like they have used a coupling that has been lying around in a parts draw for an unknown length of time instead of a new one off the production line.

If you look closely at the buffers and around the front windows, you can also see some color fringing on those areas. Chromatic aberrations vary with different lenses and can be stronger towards the edge of the frame/picture. and some might remain even after corrections are applied.

Yeah, OK, I'll give you that possibility. It just looked out of place with the large picture in front of me. Interestingly in the Trix version it is the same picture but with the center studs photo-shopped out. Same with the Belgian loco picture (which must have taken some work seeing it is on K track and there are a pair of points in the left of the picture).
