Looks great Jeff! Love the turf edges on the baseball diamond.
These are fantastic as always Jim!
The wheelsets on the Marklin trucks are huge! Going down to 36" helped a lot as the trucks could be mounted closer to the chassis. I also made the...
Thanks Joe. I did have to void the warranty a bit on the Marklin cars and MTL trucks. But I really hated the Marklin trucks and couplers. MTL...
Finally got all the parts I needed to finish the Amtrak Marklin fleet. Ended up painting all the trucks silver. Really like how they look as the...
In real life, freshly painted, they would have a "gloss" paint finish but not like on your car. Lots of painted fabricated steel with a lot of...
Looks fantastic! I love the decals. Glad it went together quickly and I hope it was a fun build for you.

Finally got the final tie crane kits assembled and painted. Everything works as it should! You can find links to the kits here on the Trainboard...
All I know is that Marklin wheels are huge! To bad you cant use Marklin wheel sets Larry. I have a large growing collection from all my Marklin...
That is really nice Larry!

This is really coming out great Robert. I had the same concerns you did about with the deep well of the Rokuhan turntable and hiding the motor. It...
