Free 60th Birthday Toast Speech

And continues ...


... with the list:
The track material:
-now we have won almost all the tracks used on Ebay.
Some were purchased in the model shop,
missing, unfortunately, still some rails to build the track plan fully.
-a real bargain price I could buy only three signals at Ebay. But here we are not yet complete! Other model plant engineers know how much a wing signal now costs ...
Since I had lost a little track of the available tracks, I have the system-very displeased with John-dismantled and sorted the tracks before.
By the way, unfortunately I found out also that we still do not have ALL tracks.
As we build into the planned facility, a terminal loop, I've made it even more closely acquainted with the possibilities there are for this. Since the Mini-Club continues with direct current, the live rail to be replaced in returning to the "old" track virtually. There are different possibilities. In our Template is the installation of a terminal loop set provided (cost: 23,50 €). In this type of installation, the system can not work later in the automatic train operation, as the locomotive stops after driving are the terminal loop and must be manually after a change of direction back into operation.

has been done purely visually not much, I try a little summary of recent weeks to give:
locomotives and wagons:
-my old electric locomotive, which I for in a model shop in Trier Repair had been, according to cost estimate about 80 €. Meanwhile I have sent the locomotive on Märklin directly and waiting for a second cost estimate ...
-my 40th birthday I got a boxcar with "Happy Birthday" imprinted. A limited edition model, which is normally given only to Märklin Club members, the ten years at the club. So something really special!
-birthday also made such a railcar. Unfortunately, I picked him up yet, can also (still) do not report the new ride ...
