Hi all -- I have been attempting to sell off my dad's train collection and can't find much info on Primex. Is it digital? Can I test it on a Märklin system? Most of the boxes are still sealed so I won't need to test those but a few have been opened. Thanks for the help. -- Laurie

Leave them sealed, they will probably be worth more.

Laurie,

Primex is just the "hobby" line of marklin. It is completely safe to use on the marklin system, is not digital, and is just a copy of the earlyish marklin. They are great loks and if brand new and unopened then they should go for $100 to $200 depending on the engine.

hope this helps,

Pieter
