    This is very informative never thought to check the weights. I am leaning new things from you every day. Helps to enjoy our trouble free running experience. Thanks again

    Great video - surprising that it was rust that caused the issue - I would never have caught that. Nice. Enjoy ;-) Bo

    A very good bit of deductive reasoning! Early electrics are really fascinating because they could only work the new power through existing steam engine technology, hence all the coupling rods to the driving wheels and the existence of leading bogies a la steam engines. These are beautifully detailed little models and I endorse the request for an updated 1930s running session. As usual a very interesting and informative video. Thank you.

    You have a serious pedagogical talent! - Regarding derailments, I must say that I can solve 90% of them by replacing one or another of the old M-tracks.

    We started watching some of your older videos and I must say, your history of prototypes is absolutely outstanding. By far the most comprehenesive and clearly presented we have seen on RUclips. An absolute joy and quite absorbing.

    I find very attractive the electric locomotives with connecting rods power transmissions.

    Very informative video on running non-Marklin rolling stock on M-track. I have had numerous derailment problems running long Liliput passenger coaches on my M track layout. After viewing this video I was able to purchase some Marklin DC wheel sets and installed them on my Liliput coaches. This change virtually resolved all my derailment issues when running long Liliput passenger coaches. The Marklin DC wheel sets do have significantly larger wheel flanges than the those on my Liliput cars. Many Thanks again for your helpful videos! Craig

    A delightful set and thank you for sharing. Unusual construction of the coaches indeed for the period; a Trix thing we can assume(?) Kinematics are great but all kinds of dust can cause quite some niggling havoc on them; need to be kept clean. We usually use some air-pressure but these odd-one-out assembly is a different matter. Cleverly done. Cheerio.

    • @The3rdRail
      @The3rdRail  Год назад

      Thanks for the compliment, compressed air should work here too, but it won;t fix the rusty weight problems if any of course. Have a good weekend.

    • @jochenkraus7016
      @jochenkraus7016 Год назад

      It's possible that it's Trix. I have a very similar railcar I bought second hand with Trix written on the underside.

    Quite an informative (and also entertaining) video!
    I must admit I usually just keep your videos running in the background, like a podcast, but I certainly appreciate the time and effort that goes into creating them!
    So now that you have another DRG train in running order, would you consider filming an updated 1930s running session?

    • @The3rdRail
      @The3rdRail  Год назад +1

      Whatever the way the video is run, it still counts as a view 👍. Also, it is nice to read my voiceover is now podcast level material😀. I certainly could do a DRG running session, I'll bear this in mind.

    Einige Modellbahner haben, bei dieser Wagon art, zwichen drehgestel und Chassie, eine unterlegscheibe, gelegt, damit es nicht mehr klemt, ------------ ja das mit dem entfernen der Stifte ist eine Dumme idee, aber das mit dem Rost Problem, habe ich noch nicht gehört, ------------ welche volt spannung und was vorn Nickel hast du für das Galvanesieren genutzt ?
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Translate by Google-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Some model railroaders have put a washer between the bogie and the chassis on this type of wagon so that it no longer sticks, ------------ yes, removing the pins is a stupid idea, but I haven't heard the rust problem yet, ------------ what voltage and what kind of Nickel did you use for the electroplating?

    • @The3rdRail
      @The3rdRail  Год назад +1

      Manchmal ist es einfach, manche Sachen zu übersehen, und Sachen anzustellen, die eigentlich unnötig gewesen wären... Na ja...
      Galvanisierung: ➞ siehe verlinktes Video. Die Lösung besteht aus Essig, Salz und Nickel (alles selbstgekocht), Spannung ist 5v und die Anode ist ein 99.9%ges Nickel Blech. Gruss nach Berlin.
