SALE!! EXC 5106 Marklin Maerklin Märklin HO "M" Track

Condition: EXC Part#: 5106 Quantity: Single Piece #Ties: 24

What is Märklin's "M" Track?:

"M" ("M" track) is used to denote "Metal"; steel outer rails, and a row of metal studs as the 3rd rail are mounted on a painted beige and brown metal base that resembles stone ballast.
"M" track is for 3-rail operation; the 2 outer rails are connected; the 3rd rail is a series of small studs hidden within the sleepers. Many refer to this stud system as "PuKo", for "point contact".
Available space for model train layout in a European home has always been at a premium; “M” track boasts of especially small circles - fitting within a 3 foot wide table ..... coining the phrase “table top” railroad!
Märklin removed "M" track from its catalog in 2002; making such now hard to find in the best conditions.
Some of our listing's auxiliary pictures show the part numbers and dimensions of the many "M" track pieces.
This item is from Eckert Engineering (EE). We have supported Märklin for over 50 years; "M" track is our love and our specialty!

Eckert Engineering testing for Low resistance.

A fault of the Marklin "M" track is loose connectors on the 3rd rail; granted after many years of age!
Eckert Engineering has measured/reworked each piece of "M" track to ensure all connectors have less than (<) 0.1 ohms resistance from end to end.
This helps you build a great layout without resistance issues in feeding power to the locomotive!
