Reynaulds is offering for sale one of the largest collections of Marklin in the world. The collection in todays market is worth over a million US dollars. We will start selling the locomotives first than the rolling stock. The collection has over 7000 locomotives and nearly fourteen thousand pieces of rolling stock. Before we make this public we want to give our customers the opportunity to purchase items from this magnificant collection.

I cannot imagine there is a lot of run time on anything . How long would it take you to run each of your locomotives one hour if you had 7,000 of them ? There are only 8,760 hours in a year. Pity the collection cannot be donated to a museum as an article of Mechanical Art.

Well, their prices were reasonable, once upon a time.

Joined: 26/09/2004(UTC) Posts: 67 Location: ,		I don't get the quoted numbers. This list lists "only" 745 items. That is quite far from the quoted 7000 locs. Where are the rest? Furthermore, it says "nearly a million dollars". If there really is 7000 locs and 14000 wagons, shouldn't the overall value be higher? For fun I did a quick calculation with the listed 745 items. They some to a total of $112,620 - not close to a million of course since it's only a tenth of the locs, but the total value must be over a million. Something is wrong, either with me or the numbers... /Brian

I'm not sure that the dealer selling the collection is the dealer who sold all the items to the collector. I think they are just selling it for the estate.

Once most everything is gone from this lot, they will move to the next Thats what I gathered for now. I will report more when they confirm the items I have ordered and they actually show up! -john

Ritchie Sambora from Bon Jovi? evidently not someone who died by the sounds of it - either someone who just lost their job (lots of people in DC loosing their jobs and going to jail lately, or getting fired for flushing out commies from the CIA), or someone going through a divorce. this guy is to model trains what imelda marcos was to shoes. now if it is a celebrity it would be sort of cool to ahve some sort of provinence (I think that is the right term) that would verify that marklin item xxxx once belonged to so and so. There was some auction on ebay a while back that had several marklin trains (mostly early 60's types) that were from a small collection owned by the late Red Skelton. Unfortunately the guy auctioning them never mentioned if he could provide any sort of lineage.

Could cetainly be Tyco. I was also told he asn't been collecting that long either: 10-15 years or so. Got into it buying a several hundred thousand dollar collection in Austria and building on that! Don't know if any of this narrows it down...

A James Bond Aston Martin DB5 PUBLICITY car- (not even featured in the movies) granted with all the gadgets- recently sold for over 2 million dollars at auction- a regular DB5 is worth roughly 10%...... For 2M, I'd take a regular DB5, go buy a million dollar Marklin collection and a building to house it in! (or maybe just do something responsible)

Joined: 18/09/2004(UTC) Posts: 789 Location: Santa Fe, New Mexico		Looked through the list as well. There are a few items that I think I 'need' but there are few details. I emailed Reynaulds with some questions and got a quick response-except the response was something like...'we totally did not anticipate the interest so we are a little rushed..." sounds like they are a bit behind the curve on this. It's ok as long as they remember that I am interested in a few items. The only way I was able to get into this was through the forum. If you go to their home page, there are no links I was able to find to this. Anyone know when the updates are scheduled? The email I got mentioned that they had sold 300 locos in a week so I presume there will be a new list in a couple of weeks. Who has the inside track on this? Stephenbb, if you have reg contact, I think a lot of us would appreciate any additional info you get, and thanks very much for the initial post. I am hoping that the next list will have a 3067.5 or 3067.6 to round out the NOHAB herd... Too bad the 3045 is going for over a grand...
