Joined: 31/03/2006(UTC) Posts: 4 Location: Brooklyn, NY		I have found an old Marklin train set I had in the 70s which I am re-building with my son. We have a number of signals and I don't remember how to set them up in order to operate them. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

One question: I've noticed that most of the Marklin track seems to be the track on the gray ballast-like metallic base. My track is composed of plastic cross ties only. Is this still being made by Marklin, or is it discontinued? Thanks!

The grey stuff in the other track is actually plastic and is this track is known as C track or Children's track... Francisco, a few others and myself run M-track or Master's track - it is the best track of all... [^] Sadly, it is not possible to buy new any more.. [:(]

[:p][:p] Finance Director and I are coming up for 10 years just after Easter - rotten time to celebrate, but I can't get past a nice dinner somewhere... I chip away at it for a few more days and maybe something different will come to mind...
