As always I enjoy your videos very much. This time I think the train was running too fast for a heavy goods train, nevertheless there is shot at 1:15 where the train travels the bridges which is espectacular, you should use it more frequently. Keep the videos coming.

Watching this video again, I enjoy it more this time.

Tolle Anlage mit meiner Lieblings Lok 103😁😁😁

Schöne Anlage mit wunderbaren Modellen!

Glorious

Sehr schöne Fahrimpressionen. 😊😊

Looks excellent, need to get myself some more of these beautiful tinplate SBB cars...

I love working aerial catenary, cheers Fabrizio like 16

In one video you mentioned that you uploaded your Gleisplan (layout of tracks) somewhere. Where can I find this site? I would like to print out your lovely Gleisplan to add it to my book "Gleisanlagen".

Poetry in motion ☺️

Schöne Fahrimpressionen. 👍👍

After a long day that was very enjoyable “short”. Thank you

Lovely

Hübsche Fahrimpressionen. 😊😊

A great opportunity to mix coaches from several European countries 👍 ! A pleasure to watch 👍

This train looks very nice 👍 good choice for the coaches 👍 thanks for sharing !

Schöne Fahrszenen. Tolle Aufnahmen. 👍👍

So pleasing,there are whole theories on how to deaden the noise, but like EVs compared to 6 cylinders, why would you

Totally agree the sound is evocative and soothing, while the visual is awesome (an American expression that is overused, but in this case appropriate 😊

Hübsche Fahrszenen. Schönes Wochenende.

Great running session. Gotta love that M track noise.

very nice. Greetings Andreas

Fantastic view!

Tolle Fahrszenen. 👍👍

Love the 103 . I model British outline but toying with the idea of getting one ,it would need to be 2 rail DC though

About the layout: - It is a temporary set-up I use to run my collection of old trains, nothing is screwed down. The rolling stock was made in the 1980s, the tooling is often older, so is the track system. - It is analogue, 16V AC - The locomotives are all analogue -> no motor regulation, no individual speed control - The speed is set centrally in a way that all trains can make the ramp to the elevated section. - Automation is done with relays, stopping is done by cutting power to isolated track sections - a small "Braking" effect before stopping sections is achieved with diodes, this is to avoid trains jumping signals Therefore: -> things are going (too) fast in places -> the stop/departure behaviour is not realistic by today's standards Normal behaviour with gear of this vintage... If I was interested in realism, I would collect something newer and would install scenery... The point here is to experience the models as one would have when they were new, using the functionality available at the time, with all the flaws it entails.

I just love to see them zoom about!

Schöne Zugsichtungen von deiner M-Gleis Anlage.

Beautiful, the 103 locomotive is my all time favorite!

Fantastic!

I have seen a series of videos in which you talk about a new layout. Have you shelved those plans for now? I really enjoy watching your channel and I’m learning a lot about automation. My father and I have had Marklin trains for over 60 years and I’m gradually adding new rolling stock to it. It’s a wonderful practice. Thanks!

This is how a layout should sound! I grew up with Marklin trains made during the late 50s through the mid 70s. I always enjoyed the sound of the metal wheels and track.

Toller Fahrimpressionen. Schicke Aufnahmen. 👍👍

I love this! Just like I remember from my childhood in the 1970s. I still like to run my trains non-prototypically fast, it is more fun that way.

Ah, this is really Märklin old school ... I can smell it!

I see my b-a-d effect on your running s-l-o-w-l-y. Very good boy. You get a Koala stamp; you don't get one on each hand until you show us slow starts and stops. Tom made a good comment; obviously a very bright fellow. Tom: make sure you tension the brush springs carefully; if so the locos realistically start and stop even quite heavy trains. Sadly replacement brush springs seem not available????????? Because of damp conditions could not run Marklin track, so two railed and converted to DC. Reversing effected by diodes, one connected in series with each field coil respectively. I often wonder why more Marklin operators do not do this to eliminate the troublesome reversal relay. I asked an expert who could see no problems with running on DC. He believed the motors should run cooler on DC. Does anyone know? My F7s run hot, but would probably be the same on factory specified AC - no stress or damage noticed. Always observe heat configuration on any model, stock or not. Running models on a conservative duty cycle is a good idea. As far as I know there are no problems running 3 rail as DC; Hornby Dublo did it, after-all. Again: does anyone know why not? Marklin of Sweden featured an upgrade of the 30xx 31xx F7 to digital and five slot armature. Worth seeing ua-cam.com/video/43ZlR_WuTrQ/v-deo.html Thanks 3rd Rail; have fun Tom

I love the Märklin EMD F7s and have a bunch of them.

Did Germany have articulated locos?

May I ask how do you connect the flimsy little cable between the two locomotives?

volldampf!

Buenísimo!

Pure joy to watch
