I have the video on old VHS. It's the Marklin Image Film (01/15/87) 20:00 minutes long in English. There may be a newer film but I doubt it would have been after Marklin discontinued the track? I am having trouble downloading it because this morning I used the free download for Mircosoft Windows 10. My computer is fine except for my canon camera download. I recorded the part of the film that you wanted and now I just have to get it onto the computer. I'll display it (hopefully) when I get this all straightened out. Cheers,Peter

Here is another clip of the process. Found in Ein Jahr mit Marklin 2000,as from 45:50 to 49:50 in the clip. The year 2000 was the last year of production for M track. The type with the point contacts was produced as from 1956. The last development was the 3-way switch in 1968. C track was introduced in 1996. The whole series of Ein Jahr mit Marklin (One year with Marklin) is worthwile watching on Youtube. The oldest i found was for the year 1995,perhaps there are more. |
