Hello, I am Johan, Asked myself at nine years old, imaginary me, what I should do for fun. Get some Märklin Miniclub, I said back. As a child I really REALLY wanted them, coming from a poor family it was a impossible dream. For years ago I purchased a z-scale Christmas set, and some extra track. And some... And some. Have Two setups, one built by Märklin from the 70s that I am trying to have time to revive and one from Noch. Both need some cork under the tracks, scenery and "garden work". I also have couple of projects that I want to pursue. A hard case for an electric guitar might be used for a layout. I usually prefer to fiddle around with the locos. greasing and "fixing" them. Recently I have been digging into replacement motors for old locos. Anyhow, nice to be "on board". You seem like a nice helpful bunch. Best Regards Johan
