Is the Märklin truly 1:87? It doesn’t look any smaller than the Hornby 1:76. How does their quality compare? I didn’t buy the Märklin because I already own the Hornby model and many OO carriages.
1) The Märklin is truly 1:87 and smaller than the Hornby one. 2) The Märklin quality is by far much better than the Hornby one. I own many H0 models (Märklin, Roco,…) and many OO models (Hornby, Bachmann,…). Overall, the quality of the OO models is a disaster: many models are manufactured in cheap plastic, details and painting are a mess, engines keep running off the tracks, engines need constant maintenance and care, most of the models are coming only in analog mode or digital but then with very few options,… 😔
@@PierreMaerklinFan It seems to be a combination of poor design and manufacturing. If you buy Rapido it’s a different matter… I also own many Märklin Trix Roco and Fleischmann (HO) models. The last Fleischmann HO sound locos were brilliant!!!
I can only concur: Hornby is junk, Bachmann UK is much better and Lima is surprisingly good. And nothing beats Märklin for their quality, although Roco is almost comparable. I don’t have may older Fleischmann stuff, but what I is great.
My bank account!
Ahhhhh
