I had a similar dilemma with my American HO stuff after I was transferred to Europe a few years ago. I wanted to continue to expand my American equipment, but found the availability in Europe was both scarce and much more expensive locally than the Marklin and Roco HO products. I found the Marklin and Roco products superior in build and detail to most of my American trains (mostly Walthers). I merged the two systems where I have a three-rail AC track running in together with my American DC track. One half of the 12’ x 6’ layout is American (with structures/vehicles/yard) and the opposite side is European with associated structures. Each track system is allowed just to run through the others’ territory and provide continuous running capability. A 14” high scenery backdrop divides the two. This way, I have the best of two worlds, and I can keep my American HO stuff up and running in Europe and enjoy what Marklin and Roco has to offer cheaply until I get transferred again. By the way, Marklin is a great system. It’s really a shame that they have so few American models and that the cost is sometimes prohibitive for endless expansion like what we have all come to appreciate from Asian imports available in the US. Have fun with Marklin!!
