Well, tickled by the Lego train video I made a trip upstairs into the spider-infested attic and started searching for some old train stuff I knew I had stowed away in some of those unopened boxes up there. Heureka! I found a few lengths of old Marklin track and a power pack! In no time, the track was set up and the power pack connected. I put my old Marklin loco on the track, applied a little bit of power and - it ran! Just like a charm! After being relegated to shelf duty for 25+ years! Talking about quality! Alas, they don´t make `em like that anymore! <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1100518_zpsumnrzxzo.jpg" alt=" " /> <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1100523_zpsu1w9uj2u.jpg" alt=" " /> The diecast zinc alloy body looks as pristine as ever and the lettering is still crisp - wonderful! I gave her a full service and I promise it won´t take another 25 years until she runs the next time!
