… check out the auction listing http://www.haemmerle-bayern.de/cms/cgi-bin/versteigerungen.pl?mod=bilder&&nummer=104 for the collector’s items.
That clock/temp thingy would be just the ticket for Waco, TX; imagine the Red on a really RedHot summer day with the wackoes in Waco checking how hot it is. 
I would love to have that sign with the temp in my back yard ! Wonder how much

HJ,
(quote) “More than a few antiques, too!”
Are you referring to forum members or EPL leftovers?
Do you think you can get the temp sign to read in ferin hight and not celceus. Ithink it might mess with a few people in the good old USofA if you couldn’t change that.

But on the EPL antiques, would be interesting to see what the “collector” items go for.

If that were placed in Waco, TX no one would notice. Mind you there could be the odd one (funny expression that is), who would think that hell was just about ready to freeze over when reading 40º (104ºF) on a warm day.
Way too many surplus “shop” machines here in the states already and while I’d dearly love to have a few in my garage I’d need to expand it to include living quarters too were I to acquire ANY of said pieces of machinery at this point regardless if they were from overseas or next door.
As for the sign clock temp thingie? Why? Just why?

OK dates and conditions are now available

HJ-
Is the assumption behind the equipment photos this is redundant mfg. equipment Marklin already has vs. unique to LGB products?

Wendell,
You don’t need to buy manufacturing equipment when your contracting out your production.
Wendell,
Marvin Brown aka JJ Sauer aka Verne Pitts aka Lone Railroader aka Bob Suggins aka LGB51 aka Wally aka etc. etc. etc. writes like a real trooper (without a head!). Fact is Märklin moved whatever was of any value to them quite some time ago. Antiquated equipment - anyone who knows the stuff can tell by looking at it! - is best left behind. Nah, they don’t teach you that a spook training, OTOH if one worked in that field for thirty years one doesn’t need close up pictures.
Down there on the Brazos (in Waco, TX) they are still plowing with donkeys and oxen (steady supply in the vicinity!), time moves very slowly. 
BTW Whatever machinery Märklin moved to Györ could have/would have been a mixed blessing, too. Always is with used equipment, seen it many, many times. Made good dollars on some of those scenarios.

fuel prices will drive food prices up, but the average farmer won’t see any of the increases!!! Speculators and supermarkets will get all of it…
'Least that my opion… it’s free, and everybody’s entitled to it… and worth just what it cost you in most cases!!!

PS: Go easy on Waco… they can find you… their a little touched in the head in that part of the state…

Mark,
The infantile remarks about Texas are Mr. Mueller’s attempt to insult another forum member who he believes is from the great state of Texas. He suffers from a compulsion to post an insult anytime I post something. Watch - it won’t take long for him to post something after I submit this.
Jesus Christ, people give it a rest. Take your snotty feud to email.
