Marklin Train Set
From my father I inherited a considerable set of Marklin,
WWII-era, train pieces (below). My best guess in that this
entire set was purchased by my father in the late 1940s or early
1950s. It was certainly prior to 1953 because I vaguely
remember the Marklin set up in the basement of our home in
Colorado, and we moved from Colorado to Montana in 1952. I
don't know if the set was new or used when purchased. A bit
of research into the serial numbers for the engines and
transformers would probably pinpoint exact vintage, but the
collection was probably manufactured in 1948 or 1949.
I do remember that later, perhaps sometime in the 1970s, my father
sent some of the engines off to a specialist for
refurbishing. I don't believe any of the engines have been
operated since.
This entire collection needs a new home with someone who will
appreciate it.
