I can´t believe that marklin is just so popular in the usa. In the last years, marklin lost many fans here in germany, because the prices are far away from the normal. i don´t think that 200 and more dollars for a normal engine are the right way to find new buyers, especially kids. although, marklin is the biggest model producer in the world and it is popular as never before. and i can´t realize why? The AC system is worse beacuse its not compatible to the most standard HO models and most of the AC engines runs bad.

I´m also fascinated about the prices for old models. On some exchange markets, i saw marklin models from the 19040s or 50s, which sells for over 2000 euro. unbelievible for a thing, which was built as "toy". But enjoy your engines, everybody should do what he enjoys.

Hello folks,
I collect Marklin on a limited scale. I primarily look for older analog operated locomotives and Relex coupled items. I am always in the market for something, primarily M and 2200 series K track. Drop me an email to [e-mail] if you have something to part with. I also have a wish list of layout models if you have any of those unbuilt as well. Thank you.

Would appreciate information about a parts supplier for Marklin HO trains and accessories from the late 50's and 60's. For example; light bulb for # 7054 crossing or spring that connects couplers on under side of freight cars.
Thank you for your time to respond. Mick Ehrich

[:D][:D][:D] Hey Emeraldisle,
began with a baggage car caboose in Nov '03 (it looked lonely) and now, over the past few months, I've added the following...
jamaica banana car
canvas covered wagon
glass tanker (exclusive item)
4 silo tank car

I can thank you and blame you for my newest drain on the finances [:p][:p][:D][^]
cheers
