For many years, I believed my train was a Prewar Set because of information from a collector in Belgium.

A few days ago, I posted to this list and got a lot of wonderful information from some great people who have helped me correct the errors.

As it turns out, the train was produced just after the end of the war in time for Christmas 1945.

The link below will lead you to the web site about my Marklin O Gauge Passenger Train. I believe I have made all the corrections from what I have learned from some great list members. I hope you will take the time to read about it.

http://home.earthlink.ne...nrlh/marklino/index.html

We hope to build a layout this winter using all original Marklin O Gauge track and switches.

Also, my Marklin 2002B station just came in the mail, and I have included that in the revised web site.

Thanks.

I have myself a HO gauge train, but sometimes I repair old cars and locomotives. As long as the wheels are good, I should let them in place. But I certainly would buy spare ones. Wheels don't have eternal lives.

First, I should try contact Märklin Germany. Certainly they can help, or can give usefull addresses.

A company I am satisfied with, and should try to contact:

Ulrich Sehling Restaurationsbetrieb

Hello,

first the loco: It is a HR 66/12920. The HR 70/12920 switches its direction by a DC-controller-system, not like yours everytime it starts.

The cars were procuced in the 4th quarter of 1945. See the stamp on the boxes: 5 (high) 4. The cars don't have printings on the frame which is typical for post-war-cars. Also the cardboard is the 1945/46 type.

Replacement wheels can also obtained at www.ritter-nuertingen.de .

Hi There,
First, I have to say beautiful set! It looks immaculate. As for the wheels on the passenger cars, I don't see anything wrong with replacing them and keeping the originals around as long as they somehow snap/bend tweak in there in a way that isn't permanant. (like most HO wheels) As for values I don't know for sure- but a lot! The other catch here is that it would likely sell for much more in Germany than the US- although that doesn't matter for insurance purposes. All I have to say is enjoy it, they are more fun when they are running!

I'am not Bart, but I reply. Beyhond these screws are the brushes. Before WWII that was usual.

These brushes are still in stock: 600380 (brushes+springs). I don't know many companies which are delivering spare parts for products which are 60-80 years old.

Not fast,neither easy. You can hardly get the worn brushes out,and when putting the new onesin you will almost have to drop them into place. Also the springs tend to fly all around.[:(!]
