Saw this on ebay and am curious what exactly it is. Number is 42355 Bill Edited by user 22 January 2010 03:08:39(UTC)  | Reason: Not specified

You can paste this links and download these files. They contain thousands of layout pictures as well as some marklin manuals in PDF. http://www.4shared.com/f...1e61f/Marklin_Books.html http://www.4shared.com/f.../a831f0fc/Pictures1.html http://www.4shared.com/f.../a09f3911/Pictures2.html http://www.4shared.com/f.../143fdc79/Pictures3.html http://www.4shared.com/f.../e1da7392/Pictures4.html http://www.4shared.com/f.../cdc48895/Pictures5.html http://www.4shared.com/f.../66f9db23/Pictures6.html http://www.4shared.com/f.../80a02b8f/Pictures7.html http://www.4shared.com/f...1/907a96d/Pictures8.html http://www.4shared.com/f...26/9627e1/Pictures9.html

It was probably like a FMEA trailer in New Orleans (meant to be funny).... Fema trailer is probably a good analogy but still funny! It won't exactly fit the timeframe of my layout but it was to interesting to pass up. I'll post pics when I get it put up. Bill
