Mike, while not modeling with Marklin, I have a few pieces of track and three locos, which I now and then set up on the dining table to give them a workout. I keep them for reasons of nostalgia, having started my "career" as a model railroader with a train set from Marklin 54 years ago. All of the locos are 30+ years old and as young and fresh as if they were made just now. There is a lot to say against Marklin´s proprietary 3 rail AC system, but it´s absolutely foolproof and the quality is unsurpassed. When Marklin went into receivership a few years ago, it was a sad day for all fans of Marklin trains worlwide. Thanks to the efforts of Mr. Plutar, who took over the management of Marklin as a caretaker, Marklin could be saved and is now a part of the Dickie Toys group. Marklin is now on stable feet again.
