Good stuff!

I have had Marklin since 1960. And yes, they are good stuff. Built to last. I have several locomotives, cars, track, switches, round-house, round-table, buildings, wiring, etc all from the 60's. Lately I have updated to some digital stuff, but still, the analog will run on digital controlled track. Although the analog can be converted to digital and run even better. And old school parts are still available if you do some searching.
And some of the old analog can be worth lots of money. I have a 3-car commuter that is worth around $3K from what I see them selling for on ebay.
What is your local hobby store? Maybe I buy from them already. And tell your store guy to visit marklin-users.net, unless he already does.
Here is a link to a locomotive I restored and posted on marklin-user.net.
