The difference between them is 1935 tracks have a 1mm center rail and the 1936 tracks have a 2mm center rail. Looking forward to more photo's of the Set. All the best. Ian.

However if you check out his latest auction his estimates keep getting less. I went to Germany in the 90's specifically for one of his 2day events and at that time I was paying close to $200 for a 346 boxed passenger wagon. His estimate would now be about 40 Euros. Roger

I think you got it for a reasonable price as its a rare piece in that condition. Sometime I wish I was interested in Hornby. Well done. I spent some time in UK a few years back and good gear like this does not come up often. I thought the buildings lot went for a bit over the top. Roger
