Märklin-H0-Modelleisenbahn mit 7 Schattenbahnhöfen, Zuglift, Lokmuseum @ MECOB e.V. im Schwarzwald

In my last video from my visit to the Model Railway Club Oberes Bregtal e.V. (MECOB) in the Black Forest, I show some trains in operation on their approximately 6 x 3 meter H0 layout (scale 1 to 87) with Märklin K tracks. First, however, the first part of the video shows the impressive H0 locomotive parade exhibition area with three long, open-plan corner-rack staging or fiddle yards and display tracks (Märklin M tracks) accessible directly via turnouts, for no fewer than 180 locomotives. These are connected to three other H0 fiddle yards via a 180 cm long locomotive lift. In two of these fiddle yards, up to 35 carriage sets are each available on track harps. From the lowest fiddle yard, a double-track tunnel leads to the large H0 layout with a gigantic O-shaped track spiral, which leads into a very large fiddle yard beneath the actual display layout. The MECOB layout is located at the Friedrichschule in Furtwangen and can usually be visited on Wednesday club evenings (see website contact information below). This video consists of the following sections, which can also be selected directly in the timeline: 00:00 Locomotive exhibition of the MECOB Märklin H0 layout 00:20 180 H0 locomotives on three shelves as a locomotive parade 01:05 Locomotive parade on Märklin M-tracks with switches 02:36 Locomotive departure directly from each parade track 03:00 Railway elevator with 180 cm stage length 03:22 Selection using Märklin locomotive cards 03:46 Control panel for locomotive and car selection 04:18 Padernoster/locomotive lift demonstration for H0 trains 04:40 Fiddle yards for 2 x 35 car sets 06:35 Departure class 05 003 Märklin 39050 07:05 Floor-mounted tour of the 05 003 Märklin with train 07:48 Oval track spiral up to the play area 09:13 Large H0 fiddle yard almost at the top 09:55 Arrival at the top at the railroad station 10:20 Still under construction / Continuation journey 05 003 12:00 Dispatcher with Rocrail + Märklin CS3 12:35 Brekina MAN 635 Faller Car System in use 13:16 Märklin 217 021-5 + 020-7 + funnel-flow tank cars 15:11 253 001-2 Dispoloco ER 20-001 Märklin 36846 16:11 648 259-0 + 648 759-9 LINT 41 Märklin 37735 16:36 HVLE 285 102-0 Traxx F140 DE Märklin 36651 17:33 Märklin CS3 + Rocrail software up close 18:00 MECOB club evenings, contact information 18:35 Final impressions with many trains Mecob club evenings and events can be found at this link: https://www.mecob-ev.de/ My video interview with an overview of the two layouts in H0 and 1 gauge at the MECOB premises can be found at this link:    • Modellbahn-Faszination in Spur1 und Märkli...   My video with operation on the MECOB 1-gauge layout can be found at this link:    • Toller Spur1-Fahrspaß @ MECOB im Schwarzwa...
