I just purchased a Marklin 3319 for one hundred dollars and twelve to ship from New Jersey. The e-bay seller mostly sold clothes and nik naks. It is marked as new w/box and the pictures represent this. I can't wait for it to arrive. Thank you for another oustanding video and for sharing your Knowledge with us. :)
Glad you enjoyed it... I bought the 1992 edition of this model yesterday, we should see it on the channel soon... if you haven't, it might be a good reason to subscribe or/and activate your notification bell :) thanks for the visit and the nice comment.
Beautiful loco! One question though: did the real locomotive have the last 2 driven axles pivoted? I cannot understand how the coupling rod can transmit power between two adjacent driving axles which are not parallel to each other. Also, some of the modern model locos have a single axle with a gear. The power to the remaining axles is transmitted through the coupling rods, just like in real life. Why does this model have gears on each axle? Thank you very much in advance
@@The3rdRail : I did not know the answer when I posted the last comment. However, I know it now. The model you have is not realistic when it comes to the frame. In real life the frame is rigid with axles having side play, i.e., golsdorf axis. Your model's frame is articulated because the curves are tighter in model than in real life. The roco model I have ordered is more realistic because it does not have pivoted frame.
Hello. This is a very attractive model. And a useful video for doing the routine maintenance. Did you also oil the bearings of the motor ? I think this new type of motor also requires periidic lubrification with a very fluid oil, to avoid blockage when the oil dries up.
Hello Philippe. Thanks a lot, it is indeed a nice model. I put some lithium grease on the ends of the motor armature, it is long lasting and doesn't harden over time. For the rest of the lubrication, I use Ballistol which doesn't resinify over time unlike the Märklin oil. I usually don't touch the bearings inside the motor housing, unless something is blocked which is very rare, what does get stuck most of the time is the axle bearings, I had a similar problem with another BR50, the 3315, which was the topic of a "fix it" video on the channel back a few months ago. Thanks for your visit. PS: loved your Crocodiles!

Beautiful addition to the layout 👍
I think so too! Many thanks!
Super video from you. Thumps up.
😃😃🙋♂️🙋♂️👍👍👍
Thanks a lot Andre. Have a good weekend.
@@The3rdRail Thank you very much. Have a good weekend too.
a graphite number 2 pencil is good for lubicating the axles! and even metal gears
thanks for sharing ...

I think you know the answers already... Thanks for the visit.

@@chandal804 looking forward to seeing it on your layout in a video soon
