But Märklin production will have to be significantly altered by restrictions now in place around the globe. All 2020 models will be delayed and I expect many to just be cancelled. So no matter what is on their website or in their brochures many of them will most likely never be made. I just hope that they are doing the right things to survive until this is all over.
		Regards, Jim I have almost all Märklin and mostly HO, although I do have a small number of Z gauge trains! I have models from Era I to Era VI, but I try to focus on Eras I & III. Whoops, that one got away from me. Let's just say I focus on cool trains, regardless of the particulars :-) So many trains and so little time.

I might even be able to buy food now, but then I will need toilet paper, it is a cruel world after all! Rick

Exactly Buying new trains that way is more fun anyway, at least it is for me. I needed to cut back about now and this mess has really worked a treat. I think that it helps to find good in the bad, at least when and where you can.... but that hasn't been very easy of late, unfortunately. Be Safe

If the envelopes come separately they might get through, if they come as a bulk package and are split up for local delivery then it might be some time before we see the Insider magazines.

His last Marklin order was returned to the factory after they tried for two months to find a plane to take it to Australia. My guess is that 02/2020 fell into this one too.. Especially as they send them economy mail..

The seller of the curves tried to send them, but they were returned. Roland is also holding some stuff for me at Lokshop for the same reason. No indication of when DHL can ship, but updates will be posted at https://www.dhl.de/en/pr...onavirus.html#neuseeland Current info is

Joined: 05/12/2008(UTC) Posts: 1,318 Location: United States		One of my dealers has a shipping invoice for an item I have on order, but admits that he has not gotten anything is some time and has no idea when that might change. From what I can tell no one really does at this point, although there are people who think they do. Another dealer said that he can get MRR items shipped to North America if he is willing to pay 850% more that he did before, so he is obviously not receiving inventory either. I would say that the Märklin hobby is kind of dead in the water for a while, at least outside of the EU . Good thing I had decided that I wanted to cut back anyway. Club news is always late for us and god knows when the latest ones might arrive.

Have purchase from Germany sent to the UK pay the VAT then have the UK address send the goods to Australia. The system is being tested at the moment by someone else.

Have purchase from Germany sent to the UK pay the VAT then have the UK address send the goods to Australia. I did consider something like that. I do have a parcel inbound from the Netherlands (3 weeks in transit so far) and another recent one from the UK. That might be an option if those two parcels arrive OK.
