Very good representation of the manufacturing process and the labor involved in making these beautiful models in different scales. This also explains the cost of these models. I wish Marklin / LGB many decades of success and hope that the next generation has the interest in model trains as much as the last generation did. Thanks for the video. Peter.
I was thinking about the same. I don't know if the Chinese manufacturing was stopped because of the quality issue or because Marklin had financial problems back than. Labour cost in Hungary is also getting slowly more expensive, I hope they can keep the margin using more technology/automation. This is not a family owned business any more, so they have to keep growing and show the numbers. Talking to the staff there I was told that on Friday most of the club members were pensioners, so there is little sign of the next generation being interested in the hobby. Or at least not to that extent as it was before. But I would love to see myself proven wrong.
Kösz a videót. Nem volt kedvem bemenni szombaton dolgozni, most már tudom miről maradtam le. Kinából már csak az elektromos alkatrészeket hozzák. Az összes fröcsöntő és sajtoló szerszámot átszállították Győrbe.
Péter G En nagyon elveztem az egeszet. Orulok hogy ennyien bent voltak es lehetett mindenkitol kerdezni. Ha gyerekek nem jottek volna meg tobb idot toltottem volna a gyarban.
Yes it is a big temptation. I would have liked if Marklin remain as a family business and not having to report profit to investorts but follow what customers want.

Happy to see that Marklin got out of China. I wish the American manufacturers would do the same.

Actually it is not true. If you look for example at the "my world" products and some others they are still made in China.
Nagjon edesek a gjereke es a vonatok is erdekesek.
Köszönöm
vajon egy dolgozótok tud-e a havi fizetéséből pl. egy LGB mozdonyt venni ? Aligha. Ez is a gazdagok játékszere, nekünk meg marad esetleg a vatera...
Azóta se mentek a kerti vasutak. Itt dolgozom
Sejtettem hogy ez valami egyszeri volt. Mondjuk én azt is sajnálom hogy nincs gyakrabban gyárlátogatás.
