I collect old Märklin H0 trains produced in the 1980s and build temporary layouts to run them. These feature on the YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@The3rdRail

Youtube auto dubbing can be dangerous...
My videos start with "Welcome to the 3rd Rail"
Auto dubbing recently started translating this as
"Willkommen im dritten Reich" in German
rather unfortunate...
German auto dubbing is now disabled on the channel.

It took a while, but I finally managed to cobble together a new video... I am venturing a bit further afield, ever heard of Röwa?

This #E91 needs tidying up, but even in this state, I'd say you couldn't guess it was made in 1972...

It finally happened! A first attempt at retrofitting Symoba couplings. Good way to preserve most of the previous guys' tinkering on #Lima #Casaralta coaches. Nice bit of kit this #Symoba stuff...

This one is completely out of my comfort zone... About to start fixing what the previous guy did with the couplings on old Lima MDVC coaches. Lots of cutting, glueing and potentially a disaster in the making... This should make for a fun video...
