I would appreciate learning more about this type of track.

What years was it made?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/e...19&item=290021102743

Was this a good price for the items listed?

Is there a web site with more information about this type of track?

Thanks.

Does Marklin currently manufacture O Gauge track?

If not, do any list members know where this type of track and switches are for sale?

Thanks.

Hello,

it was a fair price. A little bit low if I calculate the usual prices for these rails on the German market. Half and straight pieces are pretty rare if original.

That track was introduced in 1935 and produced until WW II (1939/1940) (from D13 1936):

After WWII various Replicas were made: HEHR and DARSTEDT ar the most common. But only Maärklin-rails are stamped "MÄRKLIN" on the rail.

Marklin ceased the production of 0-Gauge in 1954. In 1970 they introduced the MINEX-narrow-gauge railway (until 1972) in 1:43.5 but that's another story.
