Happy New Year! 🔗 youtu.be/yN0s61J3IJc #märklin #modeltrains #tmrguk

Reminds me of Christmas Eve at my grandparents house in my childhood, after the presents i went downstairs to play with Grandpa's Märklin World

You can see them on the move now... And smoking too... 🔗 youtu.be/yN0s61J3IJc

Lots of unboxing... Usual Boxing Day for @the3rdrail.bsky.social ... All caught up? 🔗 www.youtube.com/@The3rdRail/... #märklin #modeltrains #tmrguk

Merry Christmas! youtu.be/-iEGncH9xSg #märklin #modeltrains #tmrguk

It smokes too... 🔗 youtu.be/Ql5gs8Rwn0U #märklin #modeltrains #tmrguk

New video out now... We're off to Belgium this time. 🔗 youtu.be/Ql5gs8Rwn0U #märklin #modeltrains #tmrguk

soon on the channel... All caught up? Latest video 🔗 www.youtube.com/watch?v=kq9L... Seasonal toolbox: the "Little Helpers" playlist 🔗 www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... #marklin #modeltrains #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. #youtube #AI #modeltrains #marklin #tmrguk

It took a while, but I finally managed to cobble together a new video... I am venturing a bit further afield, ever heard of Röwa? 🔗 www.youtube.com/watch?v=kq9L... #marklin #tmrguk #röwa #modeltrains

nice documentary... #modeltrains #tmrguk #TEE #TransEuropExpress #märklin youtu.be/zyZiGGkfO7E?...

This #E91 needs tidying up, but even in this state, I'd say you couldn't guess it was made in 1972... #tmrguk #modeltrains #röwa #märklin

soon on the channel... all caught up? 🔗 youtu.be/y2N9EtaV3-Q #tmrguk #modeltrains #notmarklin

Pre-storage routine... boring... #marklin #modeltrains #tmrguk

out today... 🔗 youtu.be/y2N9EtaV3-Q #märklin #modeltrains #tmrguk

Difficult to focus with so much going on 😀 Soon on the channel... All caught up? 🔗 youtu.be/RA0cCpBfEbA #märklin #modeltrains #tmrguk

testing under way... #marklin #modeltrains #tmrguk

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... Out now on the channel: 🔗 youtu.be/RA0cCpBfEbA #Märklin #Modeltrains

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... #modeltrains #tmrguk #schadenfreude

New video out today! #märklin 3147, DB class 212 (aka V100). 60s tooling, 70s livery, available to buy new between 1980 and 1991. 🔗 youtu.be/8Dwhn246voE #modeltrains #tmrguk

Stocking up while I still can... #seuthe #märklin #modeltrains #tmrguk

This one has been on the backburner for too long... Up next on the channel. all caught up? 🔗 youtu.be/UK8tNAzwtKQ #märklin #modeltrains #tmrguk

I always find the #bostondynamics demos very impressive. No need for hype, a simple video speaks for itself. How refreshing... Go Atlas! #humanoidrobots #robots youtu.be/HYwekersccY?...

This bit of traffic didn't make the final cut of latest video... All caught up? 🔗 youtu.be/UK8tNAzwtKQ #märklin #modeltrains #tmrguk

Nice old documentary: youtu.be/7l6v2qLYg4Q?... #tmrguk #modeltrains

Mini collection milestone... after years of searching, it is finally here. #marklin ##modeltrains #tmrguk

Tidied up nicely... No need to think too long about a topic for the next video... All caught up? 🔗 youtu.be/BAhUGF9Jfkg #marklin #modeltrains #tmrguk

New item in the #mãrklin catalogue... 60 years ago... 3046, SNCF class 150.X, with, wait for it, a factory fitted smoke generator. Had to have one... #modeltrains #tmrguk

New video out today... here: youtu.be/BAhUGF9Jfkg #märklin #modeltrains #tmrguk

Bulbs are operational... No more crawling... For now... #tmrguk #marklin #modeltrains

New video out today... When old meets new... 🔗 youtu.be/cjuZ3Veo6vY #modeltrains #märklin #nmj #nsb #tmrguk

One more scenic touch... A "cheap" eBay find, #Marklin 418, Bahnhof Friedrichschafen, I think this one was made in 1948. I had to repaint the main roof, I managed to darken the corners. Gloss colours used: Roof: RAL 8004 Copper brown Corners: RAL 8015 Chesnut brown #modeltrains #tmrguk

another classic... #märklin #modeltrains #tmrguk

A rivet counter's paradise... Will feature in the next channel video. #modeltrains #tmrguk #nmj #märklin

A few more impressions of the block system, now out on the second channel. #märklin #modeltrains #tmrguk youtu.be/-cFMa8d78Go

testing.... #märklin #nmj #NSB #modeltrains #tmrguk

I will finally get these on the track in the next video... About time too, as this stack was my Xmas present to myself. And yes, they are not #Märklin, but #NMJ, and they are too new (2024) for my collection theme. I have a good reason... All caught up? 🔗 youtu.be/pUyrV2Q42uA #modeltrains #tmrguk

Now that the layout is up and running, the 2nd channel (www.youtube.com/@the3rdrail-...) should see more frequent updates... It features short running videos, cobbled together from unused footage. Have 2 minutes to spare? 🔗 to latest upload: youtu.be/8_t5W-MPtn4?... #märklin #modeltrains #tmrguk
