My parents attempted to get me a Sprinter for Christmas, but thye ended up with a Connex class 466 :P The whole Chassis is diecast steel, adding lots of weight. It hasn't derailed over points at all yet :wink:

Oh you people make me so jealous...

My layout is just a 2m by 1.5m board painted with only a single line loop and two sidings...

Atleast I have tonnes of acceserries to make up for it but still...

Anyway, I may get it out and do a short movie on it running if I can be bothered to get off my ass.

Finally i found picture of the starter set i got..

Uses the Märklin Three Rail System(AC), much better than two rail(DC) when it comes to distributing power and layouts.

The yellow light ontop of the Loco blinks too, when moving or when not moving.

don't spend it all on wagons, spend it on track cleaner.
my layout is Out of action ATM because of tools blocking the line, namely the soldering iron and drills, and the hammer...
byt now all the track is pinned down and ready to go! (apart from the dirt on it :oops: )
