Interesting! I got the Marklin magazin today, and on the backside there was a big advertisement for MTH trains! It was for the tinplate model of Leipzig station! Can we see some cooperation between these two great companies in the future?
Great news! I guess They will make either a famous steamer like Big boy who Apply to a lot of people or a steamer Who was used by many companies and can be Made many versions of!
Sad about the VO-1000, it is a very good model who runs very well and have a great pulling power, maybe the best from MTH, i allready have one and i was thinking about one more
My experience with MTH trains on Marklin track is that i have 2 MTH engines, a VO-1000 and a F-7 who both run well on Marklin tracks, same with Hopper cars and Caboose.
On my boxcars i had to take down the flanges a little but it was easy work!
I use a marklin trafo on my DCS equipment With no problem, the output is right and it should not cause any problems, i have run my MTH transport for 2-3 years now!
I have Marklin one gauge tracks on my garden layout and the MTH stuff runs very well on it, but i think the problems are with older stuff, i have a F7 loco and a VO-1000 who works great on Marklin tracks, same with the hopper cars, but i had to take down the flanges on my boxcars, but it was easy to do, abot 30 minutes of work:-)
