Dit is een schitterende set, vooral voor de Marklinisten die houden van nostalgie en analoog. Ik ben daar ook 1 van. Ze rijden ook heel mooi op uw prachtige baan. Mijn grote complimenten en ik waardeer uw video's zeer. Bedankt
hello, very nice little trains, I only have the steam engine with the passenger carriages, I'll have a look at the freight train when I get a chance, greetings Kai👍👍👌👌😊😊
Why I asked this is quite simple, 2/3 weeks ago I bought these trains and they have no tires on their wheels….. so I thought these trains don,t need tires…..
@Sergedrumming sorry I thought you were commenting on another video, my answer should have been "no". If you had watched the video, you would have found the answer... I mention the topic around 02:16... 🤔
@Sergedrumming no worries. the early OO locomotives didn't have tires, Marklin introduced plastic tires in the 1950s, then switched to rubber tires in the early 1960s
Hey there! Great video! I actually bought this set on ebay a couple weeks ago. The seller claims that it's brand new, and it certainly seems like it is. However, after a couple days of running, both locomotives run slower and slower over the course of about 5 minutes, and the motors get really hot. I assumed that they needed oil, but when I took the shells off, the motor areas on both locomotives had what looked like magnetized filings on and around the motor. Do you have any thoughts?
Difficult without seeing the locos... "Magnetic filings" sounds bizarre, are you sure this not dust? The DC motors have a permanent magnet, so metal debris could stick to the casing, but that would be strange if it was the case. And on both locos... There is not much that can be done with these motors, if everything else is free on the loco (axles, gears...) , then you might want to try and spray some contact cleaner in them to try an dislodge any stuck on grime in the collector area. You can't take them apart, so you have to spray though openings on the sides. They are the same type of motor as used in the red arrow, and I made a video some time ago where I show the cleaning here: ua-cam.com/video/xXfb29a4Lzg/v-deo.htmlsi=lYSqlIZ8O5jNPtxX&t=592 . If the motors are very dirty, you should get quite a lot of black stuff coming out. I hope this helps...
@@The3rdRail just as an update, I cleaned what I could (the DC motors are super hard to open up to clean, so I didn't bother with that) and gave the two locomotives a good oiling, and they're both running perfectly. No heat, no slowing down; completely smooth running. I'm not sure what the 'magnetized dust' was; at first I was afraid the mechanism was grinding and producing metal filings. But once I cleaned it off it didn't reappear, so I'm not gonna worry about it. I think the problems were probably due to the sets sitting boxed for almost 40 years without running! Thanks for your advice! Aside from the DC motors (a bizarre choice on Marklin's part, given the very traditional AC motors the original versions of these locomotives had), and the inaccessability of the gear mechanisms within the chasis, I love this set. I was introduced to the marklin brand as a kid through their Maxi 1 gauge line, and this set feels kind of like an HO equivalent!
@@The3rdRail hey there, so I got these trains out today for the first time in a couple months. When I first gave them some power, they both ran smoothly, but both locomotives were producing a foul burning smell. I took the tinplate shells off to look at the motors, and when power is applied to both locomotives' motors, you can see some sparking inside the access points for the brushes. I'm assuming some debris is caught up in there. Since these motors can't be disassembled to properly clean the commutator, etc, what do you recommend for trying to clean things out? Also, any advice for pulling the brushes themselves out? You can open the little metal tabs covering the brushes and the springs, but I can't get the brushes out! These motors are irritating!
Very cool. I have some 1938 rolling stock and have thought about buying this set to run with it. Love the old period tinplate as it has a lot of charm. 😀

Ik ben daar ook 1 van.
Ze rijden ook heel mooi op uw prachtige baan.
Mijn grote complimenten en ik waardeer uw video's zeer.
Bedankt
Thanks for all the compliments.
Super video. 😁😀🙋♂️🙋♂️👍👍
Danke Vielmals, Gruss aus der Hitze!
Hello,
interresting video and a nice run. loved the series 300
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the visit.

happy bargain hunting! have a good weekend, thanks for the visit.
Schöne Zugfahrten. Tolle Aufnahmen. 👍👍
Danke vielmals! like share subscribe 😂🚂👍
Very informative and they run well without traction tyres! Envious of the 1936 wagon, what history that has😁 always a pleasure to view😁
Glad you like them!
Do this trains have tires?
yes

Oh no problem! Am collect marklin trains for over 20 years, but these trains were the first trains are completely new for me. Thanks for the answer!

Maintenance is key 😉

Ive just bought one of these a few weeks ago. Some bright spark has taken the reverser out of it so will only run on DC
That's unfortunate
Very nice for historical reasons, I enjoyed watching them running but it is not something I would like for myself. Anyway, cheers.
Thought so :)
