Hi all,
I live in Australia, and finally got my 3-2007 pack of Marklin Magazine and Insider News, plus:
New Items Summer 2007
New Soft Drive Sine motor sheet
Insider car order form
Year Book order form

Contrary to some other's experience, may I be allowed to say that I enjoyed the content.

Without even having these items in front of me (I am way from home today), I can remember:
In the Insider News there was an invitation to join a tour in December to Weimar in Germany (about 5 days) and that made very interesting reading. I may not be able to go, but I can dream I am going. That's what I like about these articles, it just keeps me informed, and interested.
There was full information on the Insider cars.

New Items Summer 2007 had all sorts of new engines and rolling stock, and I liked reading about the rebuilt three axle passenger cars, and the Class 78, even though I may not buy them. Also, the new set of 6 bogie tank cars.

The MM included a great article on the turntable for HO, and the roundhouse.
And there were two articles on the TEE trains from the 60/70's, one for Z guage, and one for HO, with heaps of information on the prototypes.

Well I suppose I am just an old dreamer, but I found plenty of interesting reading.

regards
Kimball

Kimball,
I agree as well,as its August and the mailout was only 2 months late from issue,(I waited 12 weeks for rolling stock from Germany before) being In Australia,I can handle that and when its on time its a bonus,I dropped off the insider forms at my dealer and collected my club car from last year as well! nice,I don't know how long it was there for but I like surprisesSmile
I Loved the 3 axel cars article and want a class 78,The turntable stuff was informative and usefull for building my permanent layout in the future.

I enjoyed it as well. My favorite though is page 5 featuring the story on Felix Knollmeyer. I can't imagine being 13 and winning a double lok start set with CS!!! (Of course there was no chance for me to do this when I was 13 SmileSmile).

That would have been a pretty cool prize when I was 13[:p]
