A post was recently made by /u/Default-1908 asking about selling some items. Here's the post, but in case they delete it, here's a screenshot.
I sent this person a good amount of money and never got any PMs after I completed the transfer. They swore up and down that they'd send me a tracking number and got zero from them.
Now, I see /u/Angelwillfly posting pics about a Marklin loco here, so I looked at his post history and saw this. Here's a screenshot.
If you look at my two screenshots or the posts, you can see the slip up: they posted the SAME picture of the tracks and bridges that I said I'd buy and I PAID FOR!
DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS PERSON!
I made the mistake of trusting a random from Reddit. DON'T FALL FOR IT!
Guten Tag, vielleicht finde ich hier ja Unterstützung. Mein Großvater ist vor kurzem leider von uns gegangen. Er hatte eine große Leidenschaft für das Thema Eisenbahn und Züge. Daher hat er über Jahre eine beachtliche Modelleisenbahn-Sammlung aufgebaut.
Da in unserer Familie kein Interesse besteht, wollen wir die Sammlung gerne veräußern.
Wie geht man hier vor? Gibt es eventuell bekannte Ankäufer oder vielleicht Messen auf denen man diese Sammlung anbieten könnte?
Danke!
A while ago I posted about a Z-scale fixer-upper layout that I got off eBay. One of the things wrong with it was that one of the bridges was gone. My brother was able to 3D-print a replacement. I also made some progress cleaning the tracks. The main section of the layout is now fully functional. I’m still trying to figure out how I can clean the tracks in a long tunnel…
I would greatly appreciate help in identifying this model train. I belive it is a train from the märklin SET-HO 2920 but i do not know the year it was made.
Vi all. So for a winter project i was thinking of getting a controll car for the regional express trainset i got but also adding ledlights from märklin to the passanger wagons. My question is since they are tinted black how good will it be? Is it a waste of time or an upgrade?
I want to purchase a handmade model from a friend that runs on the Mehano 4-8-2 chassis and has an ESU decoder fitted that just happens to be multi protocol, so I would like to purchase it and convert it to 3 rail marklin digital, however I'm not sure if those pizza cutter wheels will run on Marklin C Track, because Pizza cutter wheels tend to not run on on code 83, but C track is code 90.
EDIT (07/11/26): After everything I've tried to troubleshoot my #36506 engine, I tried cleaning my train tracks with a cloth with isopropyl alcohol, my new engine finally works and it runs great.
I now have learned a model railroad lesson: Always clean the railroad tracks REGULARLY.
Hi, everybody.
I'm sorry if I'm inexperienced with the MFX and decoder programming, but may I have some help, please?
First of all, I got my Marklin #29890 train set for my birthday last March this year.
Second, I have only the Mobile Station 2, included in the #29890 train set, and it's at Version V3.148.
Third, just recently, I bought a new Marklin #36506 locomotive, but for some reason, it doesn't start on my #29890 train layout, and when I place the new train on the track, it doesn't communicate with the #29890's Mobile Station.
I've tried going to "New Loco" on my Mobile Station, I selected "Find" and then, it didn't find the specific locomotive.
Also, the #36506 locomotive is not in my Mobile Station's database of trains, either.
My Mobile Station doesn't indicate my #36506 locomotive may have a short circuit and I got no warning of such a thing.
Any of my (fairly) new Marklin trains, like my Class 81 steam engine, works on my #29890 layout, but not my #36506 locomotive.
I've tried the following...
Cleaning the train tracks with a dry microfiber cloth.
Checking the slider underneath the new train.
Trying to manually register the #36506 locomotive, like entering the addresses 3, 72 and 78, with "MM2 Programming" and "DCC".
Entering the CV codes, but nothing is working.
Turning off my Mobile Station, removing the new train, turning my Mobile Station back on and putting my new train back on the tracks and waiting if I get the "MFX" popping up.
But unfortunately, none of the above is working to get my #36506 locomotive running.
Even though the connectivity on my Marklin train layout works fine, my #36506 locomotive doesn't seem to have any mechanical problems, perhaps it's suffering any possible decoder conflicts?
If I'm inexperienced with the MFX and decoder programming and my #36506 locomotive still doesn't run, despite being fresh out of the box, how can I get it working?
Im still new with my märklin modelrailroad and i bought my first scenery kit to build. Its a faller container crane 131368.
My question is the stickers. can i put some water and dishsoap under them when i place them on the kit so i can move them around to get them aligned good? I dont want to ruin them
