This site shows my Modelleisenbahn (layout) with mainly Märklin trains and several HAG, Roco, Fleischmann, Morep, ESU, REI, and Brawa AC digital HO loks. It contains descriptions, pictures, helpful information, and diagrams of my old and new layouts as well as links to other sites. The site will have pictures updated periodically.
On January 15, 2025
The web site also contains pictures of actual German, Swiss, French and Luxembourg engines taken on my trips to these countries, as well as various American trains including cog railways. There are pictures of a the former Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus train and various Long Island Railroad maintenance-of-the-way cars. It also contains pictures of my Mike's Train House (MTH) 0 gauge engines as well.
