Hi everyone,

I started to go through some boxes of Marklin parts that was stored away for nearly 25 years, I haven’t seen this stuff since I was 15 years old.

There was so many great finds, including some old invoices and a bunch of spare parts.

One part that puzzles me is this a thin strip of metal that’s bent like a hook. I have attached a photo for you all to see.

There is so many of these, seems that there are 3 to a pack. I have about 6 of these packs, I’m puzzled to what it might be.



Do you have any ideas?

Thanks,

Eddie

Hi everybody
Sorry Miguel, but I fail to see where these parts are connected with Märklin plastic bridges.
Märklin never provided any fixing solution of C, M, K tracks on its plastic bridges.

Having said that I still don't see what these parts are.
Are they metal or plastic parts?
Cheers
Jean

Hi Jean,

long ago I bought Märklin bridge sections for M and K track and the bridge sections that could fit K track brought these pieces.
If you check pages 7 and 8 of the manual in the link I posted you can see how that can be used.
They are metal and there is the need to bend them fix the K track to the bridge.

Cheers,
Miguel

Hi everyone,

To answer the question from Jean, the parts are metal.

I think these parts must have come from the sections of bridge and ramps I have (that’s why I have so many of them). I was wondering why they were never used (packets are all sealed), that’s because I used the M track over the bridge sections.

It all makes sense, thank you so much for solving the mystery!

Regards,

Eddie
