Der Hessenpark in Neu-Anspach lud den Märklin Insider Stammtisch (MIST) 61 ein, im Fruchtspeicher aus den 1570er-Jahren aus Trendelburg am nördlichen Ende des Parks auszustellen.

Note: I have updated this post with the latest setup and play manual instructions that I wrote and published (also see http://www.maerklintimesaver.wordpress.com).

BR 53 0002 Had Its First Outing on MIST-61 Layout

Thanks to Rene Goy, whom I met online on Facebook Märklin H0-Forum and later in person at the annual IGE Bad Homburg event near my place, I was a super happy kid today. I showed Rene my model and asked if I could test it on the Märklin Insider Stammtisch (MIST-61) programming track. He brought my model to his colleague and we got it working. I was so happy that the steam locomotive finally moved before my eyes. Since acquiring this beautiful Märklin BR 53 0002 almost 4 weeks ago, I did not have a chance to test-run it. My … Continue reading BR 53 0002 Had Its First Outing on MIST-61 Layout
