Mike, I used to control my old Marklin layout with an Uhlenbrook DAISY control, the poor man´s alternative to the Intellibox. Just two pics of that layout remain in my files: <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/DSC00317.jpg" alt=" " /> <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/Bild014.jpg" alt=" " /> Are your switches also equipped with a decoder? I have not yet heard of a club in the US using the Marklin 3-rail AC. Here in Germany quite a few do, including the Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg. However, there is a Marklin Users Community with a specific forum, which could be of interest and also of help - take a look here: <a href="https://www.marklin-users.net/" target="_blank">marklin-users.net</a> Allow me a few days to draft up a track plan similar to the one shown for your 4 by 7 ft table. I think it´ll work out, but it does take a little while to put it on virtual paper! I am with you on losing my patience and sometimes even my temper when things don´t work out the way I want it. My Swiss layout is my third attempt at a layout within the last two years and while it is quite OK, it´s not exactly what I had in mind. The key reason being the poor quality of that rather expensive Bemo stuff - it´s all show, but no stay! My Z scale layout is a different story - everything works out the way I have planned it - so far! It is intended to be the last layout I build, but that may change when I find the space to build my dream Marklin-Nostalgia layout - the one in the picture!
