Does anyone know the price of the Historic Alder set Marklin 26355?
Only 3,333 were made, and 5 were sent to the US.

Thanks!
Mike

Hi Mike,

There's one on ebay with an opening bid request of $800...

...could that be you?

Bachmann makes the same train for $70.

(just foolin' around... good luck on your sale)

Yes. But i have not found any other ones.... Anywhere!
I just did not know what it was worth!
Ha Ha

 

[mikeyincheyenne]

So if anyone knows how much they have recently sold for, that would greatly help me out!

I doubt you will because of the rarety.
Hey, I found a really nice picture of one on a three rail forum...

You might consider using this one for your ad, as it makes your train set look much more attractive.

You're welcome, Mike...

I don't really know much about model trains but have a little experience with selling a few things on ebay. Picures mean everything. That's the only decent picture that came up so far. It's fun to hunt up things on the internet.

Oooh... just found another one!

This is the link to a French three rail forum where this guy Pierre is a major Marklin collector...

Perhaps you might contact him through the forum personal messages. Maybe he knows someone who is interested.

I have a Marklin Adler, vintage from the 1970's that I'd be willing to sell. The motor is in the third coach. I 'think' there is plenty of room, therefore, to upgrade the motor and convert to digital. (I 'think')

Ask and I will post pictures

gg1 what were you thinking for yours? and pictures would be awsome.

Gc,
I learned from the Marklin board that it's not really Marklin but something made by TRIX and then modified to run on Marklin's 3 rail AC design after Marklin bought the company.

I'm also told that they go cheep ($35-$40 range). It's an all plastic thing and it rattles as it goes down the track. When I first found it among my old stuff, I thought it was a carnival ride recreation. LOL!!

PIC for you:

mikey maybe i'd be able to buy yours in a few weeks or months but definatly can't afford that right now but i do like to collect the first loco's ever made style.
