	Originally Posted by: Marklin3000Fan Is this layout still available? Who would know, the original author has decided not to update despite a flurry of advice and interest in the topic. We can only hope he was able to negotiate to buy and make good use of it.

	Right-O! Thanks cookee! Whisper Mode On p. s. I checked the post on m-users fb, and there has been no update there either. Whisper Mode Off... I just do not want this great piece of history to just vanish!

	Originally Posted by: Jimmy Thompson Just wondering if there is any further action going on this layout. Just sitting here, breaking that old 10th commandment (over and over and...) (sorry, but the fundage just is not available... ) Seems Mike is irregular in his visits so he may not have even seen these questions yet.

	sewh800, I am not what one might call a "collector" so I was not sure about provenance and paperwork trails. Thank you! (PM sent)

	Two of my layouts have documented paperwork from FAO Schwarz & it doesn't make much difference - the size & quality of the layout are more important. These smaller layouts are the most commonly found, as they were suitable for hobby shop windows. Larger ones sat in department stores and were much harder to save, given their size & difficulty in moving intact. What is the asking price anyway?

	While I hesitate to mention this... If provenance to FAO Schwarz (or Macy's or whomever), and Märklin construction stamps/codes on the underside can be verified, that might raise the value a little, but again for collectors' benefit. (I mention this because of the changes in structures (would Märklin have changed them for the American market - I suspect not, but I have been wrong before)) Just a random thought.... Whisper Mode On I amend my comment to sewh800 as I have heard that the asking price is somewhat startling (at least to me...) Sorry Whisper Mode Off Caveat: Peace. I fully understand that it is his layout and he may name his price. I have no arguments there.
