Oh WOW ! Jim ... bucket list .. TICK!!!
What a marvellous find , you have to be ecstatic with that 
I have a real mish mash of finds this week , all currently living in the Netherlands right next to the Belgian Border where I have made a new friend and he is looking for odds and sods for me to gather into a larger "Care Package" to post to me in the Southern Hemisphere 
Lots of stuff still to come from Europe too as I have packages in Spain and the UK that are marooned there waiting on Plane space to Australia, which of course is uber limited due to Border Closures with Covid-19... probably 90% of mail comes into Australia on passenger flights , which of course now there are none!
So living in Holland are

As well as a "mini bucket lister " for me ... a pre-war JDN ( Distler ) 3501 locomotive and tender ... been after one for a while and this one fitted the budget ( at last ) proving good things can come to those who wait ...

Wow! Very impressive! Now to look for a 2037 GB station platform, or better yet, two 2037 GB station platforms and a 2078 canopied station platform to create the Leipzig complex like the one shown here. Lastly, for the uber 'full' Leipzig, add a second 2037 without the platform to the back of the complex! You may need another room...

JKE: What a marvelous find - BRAVO, Sir! And Fatman's Distler loco is also PRIMO!
MTH'S version of the Leipzig can be had for $725 new on Ebay.
But I prefer to stick to Bing, Kibri, and Cabo. Cabo you say? Carl Bochmann founded the company in Dresden in the late 1890s. It competed directly with Kibri. I now own 4 Cabo stations and here they re

Hi George,
Actually a second 2037 would more accurately be placed next to the first station making the complex double wide, and the tracks would come it perpendicular to the station complex, not parallel to it, just like the real Leipzig Station. The real station was built for two different railroad companies, each one had its own complete section. Given the relative rarity of 2037 stations I doubt that I will be attempting this any time soon 
The photo is a view of the Leipzig Station interior that I took during a visit two years ago.

As promised from last week's edition, here is my 1680 all put together. The wheels have had their white stripes repainted and all side rods installed.
Here it is with its 4 red streamline cars, next to a 1939 447 and 3 chrome cars.

Hi Jim,
I read that too. I got a little too creative there... Apparently, when the 2037 was produced, it was called a half-Leipzig. Marklin's reply was to buy two and remove the approach from one side of each.
