It was built by a layout builder named Fritz Berger, I am looking to learn a little more about him and haven't found much online. What we know is that apparently he did the bench work, track work and wiring and his wife did the scenery. They apparently also built dealer layouts for marklin. Anyway I was just curious if anyone was familiar with Mr. Berger and knew anything about him Thanks Kevin

It appears that Berger used the older Maerklin solid third-rail track, or it could be Trix Express track, or maybe even VB track from France. Any other opinions? Kimball
