A man after my own heart Paris. Find what needs fixing and then just fix it and enjoy.

Life is too short to not have fun, particularly with your trains. ThumpUp

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 heard from someone who overheard someone it could be in two weeks.

But apart from one specimen that was doing testing at the factory, copies of the model were absent from any display cases at the Treff. I did ask about it and got a shoulder shrug - not sure if that meant that they couldn't understand why it wasn't there as well.

I accidentally met with the product manager for the Flying Scotsman. He was selling tickets for the steam ride. He asked where we from and then wanted to know if we had ordered the FS. The model is the test track has to reach 150 continuous running up and down the helix with weighted wagons. 150 is the minimum but they push on to 200/250 hrs. Anyway he thinks they should be shipping in a couple of weeks.
Interestingly he wanted to know if we would be interested in other British outline, coaches for example. From that I deduced that coaches are in their minds. He also advised that the moulds will be reused.

Thanks for sharing, that is indeed some interesting signals from märklin. So let's hope they make some coaches also. I have seen one dealer operating with waiting lists for the locomotive.
