#Madeleines #baking... I always find the way the bulges rise magical... This also very reassuring when it happens: the batter mix was right and had enough time in the fridge before baking.

I collect old Märklin H0 trains produced in the 1980s and build temporary layouts to run them. These feature on the YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@The3rdRail #marklin #tmrguk

Youtube auto dubbing can be dangerous...
My videos start with "Welcome to the 3rd Rail"
Auto dubbing recently started translating this as
"Willkommen im dritten Reich" in German
rather unfortunate...
German auto dubbing is now disabled on the channel.

I think that the power from the overhead line is converted by a transformer in the middle section. This then feeds 2 motors installed in each bogie, their power is transferred to the axles with a jackshaft.

It finally happened! A first attempt at retrofitting Symoba couplings. Good way to preserve most of the previous guys' tinkering on #Lima #Casaralta coaches. Nice bit of kit this #Symoba stuff...

SYMOBA short coupling kinematic
80s Lima surburban coach
This one is completely out of my comfort zone... About to start fixing what the previous guy did with the couplings on old Lima MDVC coaches. Lots of cutting, glueing and potentially a disaster in the making... This should make for a fun video...

#märklin 3147, DB class 212 (aka V100). 60s tooling, 70s livery, available to buy new between 1980 and 1991.

H0. If you are modelling a German theme from the 1950s to the early 2000s, this class is almost unavoidable. There were over 750 of them (211/212/213) in service at the Deutsche Bundesbahn.
