A veritable treasure trove!
Will you be building them or keeping them as un-built? |

Hello Thom, Wow  very nice purchases.  B-186 is not station Schonblick but an arched glass platform roof. (Station Schonblick is B-103). The unusual M-track sure looks to me as the rare and (very) expensive and very sought after type 3800/3900 track with the plastic sleepers on the metal track bed (aka 'Modelgleise'). Sometimes you can find them on ebay for € 10 or € 12 for a single track. See the 3800/3900 topic here: LINKMarco  |

 I sure like these Faller purple control sheets and especially the (date) stamp on it. Normally these have six numbers but sometimes five. Slowly I'm finding out how to read the stamps. The sheet of Thom's B-180 kit is stamped with 20716 ... I guess that makes 16 July 1962 ... (6)20716 That also matches some other sheets I've seen, I have the 4916 ADAC roadside service point that was in the Faller program from 1964 to 1973 with a stamp 40831.. that is 31 August 1964 ... (6)40831.  |

The seller started at $5.00 US for a piece of track and I got him down to $2.50 US or 2.00 Euro for each piece track. I ended up with 40 pieces of track!  |
