    Which was the only year they were available and sold out at the factory very quickly.
    Also – How many 1 Scale Marklin 55565 “New York Central” white Crocodiles were produced in 2009?
    Which was also the only year that those models were produced.

  • I have three (3) Marklin train catalogs: 1960/61 E o.p, 1961/62 E o.P., 1961/63 E o.P. and Marklin HO Gauge HO Track layouts. I also have many a Marklin Modern Steam Locomotive 3005, a Tank enginne (3000) a refrigerated van (4508), a tipping wagon(4513), low-sided truck (4503), Petrol tank wagon with Esso on the sides (4501), Goods train luggage van (4600), Motor car transporter wagon (4613), timber wagon (4608), open goods truck kit (4903), a low sided truck kit (4914), many track pieces, remote control and lighting accessories, and other accessories (locomotive shed, etc). My dad had these and put them out at Christmas and I loved playing with this. Many stories and memories associated with the “daddy’s train set.” Was wondering if they are collectables and what to do with them.
