Shall I post my pics here ?( yes)

If they are tinplate trains, this is certainly an appropriate forum for your pictures.

We had a great train show here in Memmingen (Germany) where we could see
"Märklins Best".

part 1

Very Nice! Thank you for sharing!

Chauvi, thank you for sharing these, great photos of some great old tinplate!

 

Was this a show of exclusively Marklin, or was there a mixture of manufacturers?  I ask because I have the same overhead pedestrian bridge and I have not known whether it is Marklin or Bing.  I am wondering if your pictures mean it is Marklin for sure?

 

Thank you

 

 

 

 

Hello and thankyou for posting those pictures.  I just love seeing European tinplate.  The colours, lithograph and tin pressings seem to have so much more character than North American tinplate trains.  I don't get to see many of these trains here in Ontario, Canada. I would love to see more pictures if you have them.. Thanks again,  Walter (Wayne)

hojack, as far as I can remember, all the tinplate stuff was made by Märklin.
If your Bridge was a Bing, it would have an embossed mark somewhere.

more pics,Wayne ?
here you are..

Thank you for the pictures.  These are things that probably many of us never see.

       
       

That´s true. We know these treasures only from catalogs and books and I never ever did expect to see these things in real.

part 6

Fascinating pictures! Thanks for posting them!

       
       

Thanks for joining - I´m not ready yet :-)

Part 7

Peter,

 

Thank you for posting this extensive set of pictures of Maerklin's finest. Goes to support the old adage, I guess, that Germans are the best toy makers.

Part 8

Thanks for all your work in posting these.  This is really quite a collection.  I really like the large, two-portal tunnel and the erector set bridges.

Yes, this is an amazing collection and as I mentioned before I never did expect to see those things in real which I only know from  Books and catalogs.




Part 9

Whew! I never knew they made so much - and in such detail! Thank you, that was great.

       
       


I´m glad that you like it. I will come to an end and post the very last pictures:



Part 10

Gadzooks..what an amazing set of photographs and equipment. My brain cells were overloaded. I did not know which to focus on..the craftsmanship is simply awesome into the stratosphere of incredible. Much thanks for posting these. My adrenalin was effected. I need a nap.

I know some photographs could have been better - BUT:
I was equipped /w a cheap camera, an angry wife, which wanted to go shopping instead looking at boring trains and a 3 yrs old Rottweiler which I had to keep away from licking on the glass of the show cases.

If anyone wants larger picures for printing, I will be happy to mail them.
(size i1200 x 900)
Also if you want to copy these picture for what purpose ever, feel free and do so-
I don´t insist in any copyright.
