Nostalgic Modeltrains 1965

Nostalgic Modeltrains 1965

Nostalgia is not what is used to be, but this one is close! My dad made this Märklin station layout around 1963 mostly to expose his collection of roling stock. A friend took the little 8mm movie in 1965 with a Bolex camera, and the film was much later converted to DVD. The layout was withdown in 1967 and sold in order to buy a SLR camera (Minolta SR 7). My dad, 8mm films, the Bolex and the Minolta is long time gone, but some elements from thee layout is still in my posession. The single headlamp on the F 800/3028 loco is not a mistake but a homage to danish stem loco operation, allways using only one headlamp.
