Hi Ian,
That is € 14,00 (??). Good buy !!!! Hopefully it is in good condition.
I found out that if one stacked the track pieces, the sharp metal edges at the bottom of the track, can and will damaged the paint off the sleepers of the track under it. Stacking M track/ 3600 track is therefor never a good idea, but everybody does it.

Hi Marco, The track looks ok in the photo, but will need to wait till it arrives. Now, if some of it had the 1mm center rail (1935) then that would be a very good buy. Ian. Edited by user 06 August 2012 14:42:57(UTC)

Ian,
I must warn you, do not look too long in that shop, they have so much beautiful 1930s /1950s Marklin....., also lovely rare 3600 track pieces, pre war too.
I have bought a 1946 green 341 coach in near mint condition there this morning.

Hi Marco,
The Loco does not have the instruction booklet with it.....
Will need to wait a little longer.

Hi all, My new track arrived this morning, most of it is 1936 track (center mounting holes,outside track rails ), and no cutout for cables. The rest is 1937 to 39 track. Very pleased with it. Here's an overall photo. Ian.  Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Hi Ian,
F A N T A S T I C !!! Man, how I love this pre war tracks.....
I counted 22 pieces. Not bad for € 14 Plastic C track is 6x more expensive.
I look especiallythe at the paint of the sleepers, which is the first what will look worn and ugly But the sleepers looks quit OK !!
