Birthday party in Göppingen Trainini ® International Edition German Magazine for Z Gauge Introduction Dear Readers, when I started to write these lines, the saying “as time goes by” shot through my head... Is it really autumn and Christmas not two months away again? The dealers are looking forward to the biggest sales of the year, Märklin will then be driving special Holger Späing shifts again and delivering more items. Editor-in-chief It's filthy outside - wet, but not cold (in Germany). This is what my friends at the regulars' table in Hamburg, who claim to know such a climate very well, call shitty weather. Experts say it must continue to rain until at least February 2020 in order to fully compensate for the loss of soil water after the record summer of 2018 (again in Germany). I wouldn't object to that if we didn't all have to go to work more or less frequently through the rain, or even to go shopping. But otherwise we wouldn't miss anything outside and could turn more to the most beautiful hobby in the world. The Märklintage (Märklin days) in Göppingen certainly provided us with enough suggestions for this, and our volunteer helper Stephan Fuchs reports on them in detail and authentically in this edition.
