A fascinating site that has good technical information on Märklin Digital and also helpful tricks and tips on building scenery etc.

An Impressive site that is rich in content, from fabulous photo's to technical information that is very consice, Huib Maaskant should write a book titled "Märklin for Dummy's" Huib has rebuilt his website and is in Dutch only, but he has been good enough to retain his non-updated English site as well, so here are the two links . . .

This is a wonderful site for photographs of HO Model Railroad, mostly Märklin, lots of inspiration, hopefully one day I will get to view first hand this massive, highly detailed layout.

This site surely has the largest links page I've seen on the internet for Märklin and British Model Railroading. Check out the home page and links page.

For an Aussie slant on Märklin . . . Visit Ross Stewart's site, it has lots of great photo's and information. Regulary updated.

This is the Train section of Dale Schultz's Website, Dale has some fabulous ideas, tips and tricks, that are consice and easy to understand.
