Hi John,
I like your layout very much. The tracks that you use are Märklin K. I´ve got a small Märklin layout of 213 cms x 98 cms of Märklin C track. I´d like to make you a question ¿ How many locomotives do you have?. I´ve got Märklin locomotives and railcars belonging to some European Railroad Companies, such us SNCF, DB, ÖBB, SNCB, NS, TEE, SBB; I´ve got a freight steam locomotive belonging to Union Pacific class 4000 Big Boy. The rest of my locomotives and railcars belongs to RENFE, the Spanish Railway Network.
If you like to see my collection, you can see it here at MATERIAL ESPAÑOL H0 line. I hope you enjoy it.
Regards from Madrid.

Hi Alberto,
You have a great collection! I looked several times at your posting of your layout/collection. My model railroad association says we must use Marklin K-Tracks for our modules so we can use either AC or DC locomotives. I actually don't have any Marklin AC locomotives but other members in my club have them. I have 3 main train collections; all are HO. My biggest collection is my German trains from DB-AG, DB, and the Reichsbahn epoche 2. I also have several trains from Switzerland, Austria, Poland, and Czechia. My second collection is North American trains; here most of my material is Union Pacific (I live 1 kilometer from a busy UP/CSX mainline track that goes from Chicago to St. Louis.) Also there's some historic railroads in my American train collection: New York Central, Milwaukee Road, Chicago and Eastern Illinois, Illinois Central, Nickel Plate Road, Wabash, TP&W, etc..) My third collection is my favorite collection: Renfe. I think I have about 30 locomotives from Europe and America and 1 Heljan train (IC3) from Israel.
Which Big Boy model do you have? There are a number of good quality HO models of Big Boys. I have a model of the Challenger 3985 from Athearn Genesis. It's a fantastic model. Actually 3985 will probably be coming to my town in the next 6 months on a special tour from Omaha to Chicago and return to Omaha. It's an amazing locomotive to see operating.
Thanks,
John
