I got mine in 66 when I blew up my US Lionel set plugging into 220v~! Santa brought me the Marklin 060 starter set. I have all the parts, except for the box. Everything works.
So pleasant to watch and relaxing . Thank you for all your entertaining videos and wishing you a peaceful Christmas from a Märklin collector in Tasmania.
Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year. Tchaikovsky and classic Marklin, two of my favorites. Thank you for all the content this year. It's always fun to watch.
Greetings from beautiful Austria this time. Excellent music. Tchaikovsky is one my favourites actually, and especially this Overture. Wonderful upload. No Märklin layout without the alluring 103 and its coaches. They do remain a mesmerising sight from times gone by. We wish you and your family a most wonderful time of the year 🎅🎄🎁
Wonderful video, thank you for making it. Super trains as always, the little SNCF Freight train with Citroen cars and wine barrels made me smile with the musical accompaniment, great stuff 💝👍
I admire all your locos and rolling stock. I need to add to mine. Fortunately, E-bay has many, many lots of estate sales to choose from. I just need more space to put it all out. Thanks for the Holiday video. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Mr Third Rail. Appreciate all your efforts into making your superlative video. And 1812 always gets an audience. And it is noted that, even though märklin, you restrained yourself from götterdamerung ;)
That's because I'd need a smoke machine and hours of filming around the turntable, but I used rise of the valkyries in another video 😀... Thanks for the visit! Merry Christmas!
OH NOOO... No Scenery! Non-Prototypical Speeds!! Exposed Wiring!!! I can't bear to watch this. 😉 😉 😉. In other words: Veeery nice, and thank you for your light-hearted-yet-also-serious take on our delightful hobby. It's just how I prefer it myself as well. Cheers and happy holidays.
wonderful! 🎄🎄🎄merry christmas to you and the watchers of the 3rd rail! … just an idea for your next music video: let some of the S3/6 variants you own run to honegger’s pacific 231!
Dear 3rd rail and all Marklin fans wishing you a merry Christmas and soon a happy New year. Would have loved to see my favourite 4228 Rheingold with all the coaches lights. For your automated system how do you deal with the difference between a pickup shoe under a locomotive and more pickup shoes under lighted coaches ? Many thanks 🙏🎉
There are a couple of videos of the rheingold set, you'll even see it navigating the block system wihout causing any trouble in this one: ua-cam.com/video/7Attfbw7-C8/v-deo.html or if you just want to see the set, this one:ua-cam.com/video/RZoWo0s5Y50/v-deo.html. There is also this one with a bit of music: ua-cam.com/video/GQkHIIozJsw/v-deo.html. I use relays to disable contact/switching tracks temporarily to prevent untimely triggering of signals. Merry Christmas!
Wow! When I read the title, I didn't expect the 1812 Overture!! I was hooked from the first few notes 🙂Thanks for all the videos this year and a happy Christmas to you and all your viewers.
Magnifique the way you mixed these two. Congratulations for the work. I will look at it many times. Good wishes for Christmas an a happy new year, and a new lay-out?
So cool to see so many different trains zooming around! I have 3 questions 1. Where can I buy those wires and (fe)male connectors? 2. Even though this track is superb, will we be seeing a 2025 Layout? 3. If you don't mind me asking ofcourse, who are Alex and Max (16:52) Either way, happy christmas! Just like last year, I've put a track under the christmas tree, this time with more logic and isolated sections controlled by a signal! Something I learned from you!
Thanks. 1. Any model shop that sells european models should have something like that, otherwise ebay/the internet... Keyword: "modellbahnstecker". 2. That's the plan 3. Those in the know know who they are 😉 Merry Christmas
😅 magical Christmas treat. Perfect pairing 1812 and your incredible layout, like a fine Beaujolais and a gigot of lamb 😮 intricate segways and pannng. Merci beaucoup for all your content enjoyed by so many around the world 😀
No it isn't. But I don't do them frequently as they usually get less views or abysmal watch time. People simply don't like just watching model trains on model train channels 🤔🤔... 😀
Sorry, way to late to wish you all Merry Christmas, but hope a Happy New Year is in order, the 1812 Overture was the very first piece of Classical Music I heard as a child, I was hooked, it was the cannons!!!, how well it works with model railways.....excellent!

Glædelig jul. I got my first Märklin train christmas 1964, so 60 years ago (and it still works).
Merry Christmas, enjoy your trains.

One final question for the season, Is this your first video with no voice over? If so, A First!
No it isn't. But I don't do them frequently as they usually get less views or abysmal watch time. People simply don't like just watching model trains on model train channels 🤔🤔... 😀

I did not ask you yesterday, but your lovely red 'bus' that runs in front and looks so happy, what and who is that?
