Ideas for Marklin C-track mini or micro layouts?
|
I was in Lidl today, and found this (ignore the Polish, it's the picture that matters): Needless to say, i paid less than this auction is selling for (closer to $50USD than the near-$70 of this one) I bought it on a whim, in part because it struck me as a reasonable price, but also because it uses DCC of sorts, and the cars are compatible with my Piko trains... So, my question is. Does anybody here know of any Marklin C-track layouts that would make something like an Inglenook, or somesuch? I could just make a generic Inglenook, but was hoping for something sliightly more. Also, what does anybody know about this track system? any experience? TIA -Jon Glass |
开云体育Hello Jon,there are two examples for inglenooks built with M?rklin C-track in a German internet forum: Both were built by the same person and both have variations from the original inglenook track plan. Also in the same forum there is a micro layout built with M?rklin K-track: Despite the text is written in German, there are many pictures from the building processes. :-) The M?rklin C-track, as all M?rklin track systems, has a third conductur in the middle of the track. But the C-track is very sturdy and also looks realtively filigree.

Thank you very much for that! I especially like the Inglenook with the double-slip. Normally I would avoid something like that, but here, it just struck my fancy! Thanks! A good beginning... hopefully more ideas--thank goodness for Google Translate. I hadn't thought of looking for German language sites.
