For those who know me, know that I am an N-scale and DCC modeler for many years. Moving to Märklin H0 and AC system may sound like I have “jumped ship” (figuratively). That is definitely not the case.

When I decide to acquire my first German steam locomotive (I have a LNER Class A4 Mallard 4468 in OO-scale from Hornby), it was a conscious decision that it will be HO-scale (pronounced in German H0 (Ha-Null)) AND a Märklin.

I am not giving up my dream to restart my N-scale layout germaN:160 “Somewhere in Germany”. My blog germaN:160 serves as my journal for my thoughts and planning records on the layout. Anytime, I could pick up from where I left off and learned from my experience in layout building and DCC operations.

The same goes for this blog germaN:87AC “Steam Experience across Germany” in Märklin H0 AC. I hope to learn from fellow Märklin modelers and add your thoughts and experiences to my H0 but this time AC layout planning.
