Deutsche Reichsbahn Classics - Märklin trains in motion

[@pierre214]

Du "pur Märklin" ancien, classique, avec de la voie M , une signalisation et des caténaires fonctionnelles ... magnifique . C'est superbe, merci de nous offrir un tel spectacle !

[@The3rdRail]

Unadulterated "Ganzmetall" goodness indeed, merci pour votre temps aujourd'hui.

[@philippedanjou5390]

My friend Pierre's M Gleis layout is also a superb exemple of pure Märklin atmosphere!

My Lieblingsära - my favourite era - just personal choice but the peak of vareity of technical development of steam. Thanks so much for the Zugbildung - consist education.

[@The3rdRail]

Thanks a lot!

Hello, I recently found your channel and have been thoroughly enjoying your productions. I am an American 2 rail modeler, however have always had a fascination with Märklin trains. The presentation of your videos is informative, and the tone is as if you are talking to an old friend. Looking forward to more!

[@The3rdRail]

Welcome aboard! Glad you enjoy the content. Like, share, subscribe as they say...

[@jeanricard918]

As always it’s a joy to watch running session on this most perfect layout, and hear the Märklin humming of the trains, thank you for sharing this. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@The3rdRail]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your time today.

[@MMK96]

Enjoyed this a lot - nice to see the O-Wagen with the new coal loads in action! 👌

[@The3rdRail]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@CM-he8ni]

Echo the sentiments expressed here, marvelous! The coal looks particularly fine. I can relate to the Rheingold as have one, the bijou in my collection 😁Having a particularly nice loose leaf tea as I enjoy😁

[@The3rdRail]

Cheers, enjoy your cuppa.

[@sutsko40]

yes please make a video on how to fix loose wheels i have the exact same model with same problem. Thanks again for a superb video..

[@The3rdRail]

Noted!

[@nickwogan415]

Oh wonderful! What a nice selection of equipment. I especially like the two large (and strange) freight locos. The Mallet is really curious. Always nice to put my feet up, sip my whiskey, and enjoy your entertaining videos. I would love to see a video on how you fixed the big red streamliner but thanks for this splendid video. Cheers.

[@The3rdRail]

Thanks for the visit, thanks for the suggestion, but i;d have to break it again to show how I fixed it ;) I have a similarly broken loco of another type I might dig out at some point though. Enjoy the rest of your whisky...

[@marklinologe4685]

Hi, that‘s the way I like gaming with modell trains, watching at running trains but also changing loco‘s and waggons 👍

[@The3rdRail]

Cool 👍

[@ModelTrainOutsider]

Absolutely stunning and brilliant! Another wonderful video and story-telling!

[@The3rdRail]

Thank you so much! Have good rest of your Sunday.

[@philgardiner8304]

great session. I am now changing my plan for my layout to have something that is running rather than in perpetual build. I think a fix it on wheel quartering would be great too as I have a few models with "wheels" off which will need that and you have the knack of making these things clear and practical.

[@The3rdRail]

Thanks a lot and good luck with the planning

[@allyncooke4286]

awesome again.. would like a video on why some locos are racers as you call them and why others are not.

[@The3rdRail]

Great suggestion!

[@lindaoffenbach]

What a flabbergasting collection. Just wow 💓 We most definitely would like to see the 3089 fixed in a dedicated video. Would you happen to know if that wheel loosening is a recurring known issue on these models? We haven't experienced such with any model as of yet but we don't have the 3089 in our assortment. Cheerio.

[@The3rdRail]

Well, thanks for the compliment. I would have to break the 3089 to be able to fix it in a video 😀, but I have a loco of a different type with similar problems I can use. I cannot tell if it is a recurring issue, but it can easily happen when trying to move the wheels by hand on a ceased locomotive, so it is always a point to check when buying one of these if possible (difficult to do this online for example...). Cheers.

[@lindaoffenbach]

@@The3rdRail Very valuable helpful feedback. Thanks a bunch 👍

[@steamerjon]

A fantastic video which made me wish I had the space to get my Märklin HO collection out. I do however think it's time for you to mount a camera on a wagon for some driver's veiws...

[@The3rdRail]

food for thought...

[@adamdelarozza1985]

At 16:32 , is this the Marklin 3032 ?

[@The3rdRail]

Close, it is a 3031 😉

[@adamdelarozza1985]

@@The3rdRail I just purchased the Marklin 2964 Delta train set for one hundred nine dollars. It includes the 3032, cant't wait for its arrival! thanks for the Great train Video!

[@ppol4264]

Thank you for this video. At 12:31 we see a small electronic circuit. It looks interesting Could you give us information about it.

[@The3rdRail]

no problem, this is a homemade wireless controller I use for my accessories, look on the channel where there are a few videos about the wireless controls I designed.

[@ppol4264]

​@@The3rdRailThank for your reply. However the 3 videos related to the wifi control seem to not be available anymore.

[@The3rdRail]

@@ppol4264 I deleted a few older videos a while back, that's possible... There are still plenty of wifi control related videos available on the channel though. Basically, I built circuit boards with ESP8266 microcontrollers, which I control with an application I developped using NodeRed. Each board controls and powers up to 2 signals, and is itself powered using the Marklin lighting circuit.

[@malcolm06768962]

Firstly I really enjoy your videos and thank you for the uploads. I hope you don't mind me asking this question to you and your followers. I recently purchased a Fleischmann ho 6652 turntable. Unfortunately I model DC and the person I purchased it from said it was DC but it's actually AC. I live in Ireland so I don't know anyone who models marklin ac. Other than eBay Germany are there any other modelling websites on the continent that people know of that I could try? Sorry for this but thank you 🙏

[@The3rdRail]

No need to apologise 😉 I never touched one of these turntable, but I think the bridge motor is AC powered while the track is DC 2 rail for the base model. There is an additional kit that can be added for 3 rail, see www.gaugemasterretail.com/media/downloads/FM_Turntable.pdf. Are you sure your turntable is 3 rail? To get in touch with collectors, look on marklin-users.net where there are a few collectors from Ireland, or you can try stummiforum.de for a german speaking audience.

[@malcolm06768962]

@@The3rdRail thank you so much for the reply, I'll check them out 🙏

I swear Marklin also made that turntable for fleischmann, and ended up having to pay fleischmann for the rights to make the turntable again since the tooling now belonged to fleischmann..

[@The3rdRail]

really?

[@raymondleggs5508]

@@The3rdRail The former Turntable 7286 was 100% Fleischmann's, despite originally designed by marklin, now their group has developed Roco's 42615 (both 2 rails and 3 rails with a 253 mm bridge) The deal was quite strange, as when Fleischmann quit HO in 2020 the turntable's tooling is once again owned by Marklin.

[@The3rdRail]

Ah, you were talking about the 7286, sure, this was indeed a joint Märklin/Fleischmann development, but that is not the same turntable as mine which is older and to my knowledge designed and made by Märklin only for Märklin.
