The 3rd Rail
I collect 80's Märklin H0 trains and build temporary layouts to run them. To make this interesting, I tend to try and use as many of the features offered by the Märklin system. I am not a modeller, more a bit of a mad scientist, so expect to see plenty of exposed wiring, wonky tracks and wobbly bits and pieces.
