Website Updated With Thumbnail Images

Over the past few days we've been working on adding thumbnail images to various pages on our web site. Of particular interest are the Märklin ordering pages which now have these miniature photos in the tables that load for ordering (reached via http://www.modellbahnott.com/marklinhomepage/ourprices ). The images will cause the pages to load a bit slower but in these days of widespread broadband usage, the delay should be minimal. This change also highlights those items where photos are not available. The "broken link" symbol indicates that neither size image is available. In many cases, items such as books, old catalogs and the like hardly justify preparation of an image. In other cases, such as products we've had prior to the "internet era", we can focus on adding images for those items.

We also expect to expand this change to other sections of our site if customer reception is positive!

We ENCOURAGE (even solicit) your comments about these changes. If customers find that page loading is too slow we may prepare two sets of ordering pages, one with thumbnail images and the other without. That adds considerable complications though.
