Gee Stewart, I think we’ve all been caught out by expensive mistakes! I’ve done it, but on the other hand, I’ve picked up some decent bargains along the way, so maybe in the long run they even themselves out☺️ See , you picked up your $100 bargain with the blue loco! And please - don’t do carpet reviews. If I tried that, I’d have trouble getting up off the floor😀 Always enjoy your videos!

Marklin do make DC two rail models, but importantly now under their Trix brand, at least in this century. Was pleased to come across their Trix K class 2-12-0 second hand in excellent condition at a very good price in a Melbourne local hobby shop.

Unless one is in the genre, it is an easy mistake to make. I am a Märklin fan and runner, but when I bought my first train in late 2015, I didn't know they were 3 rail, either. Now, I am all 3 rail (AC). It is a bit involved, but there are videos to show you how you could convert it back to DC (2-Rail) and maybe still enjoy it. It's a bit of re-wiring and switch out the wheels to DC (insulated) ones. You may even have spares of those around. Anyhow, that was a BEAUTIFUL blue steamer. The 4-6-0 was sharp, but the blue just stands out nicely. The Chinese DF11 was definitely an impressive weight. Nice layout and great running trains!

Don't be too hard on yourself, mate. We all make mistakes. Perhaps the mistake you made was made for sentimental reasons. Yet I agree that it's no good purchasing an expensive model, which you can't run on your railway. Can't you send it back and get a refund? It might make you feel better.

I doubt if they would take it as it was a closing down sale, thanks for watching and commenting Kelly.
