After reading the post by @MALUSE about Marklin electric railway sets I emailed my younger sister and asked her if she remembered the Marklin railway set we had in our home in the 1950s.
"Of course I do", she said. "I have a photo of it when Dad took it outside one day."
And so here it is, my father's pride and joy, his Marklin electric train set with my little sister beside it. I remember it as having more accessories to it on the board, so this must have been taken in the early days.
So, thank you @MALUSE for bringing back this childhood memory and enabling my sister to share her photo with me - and now with you all!

That is a beautiful photo. It brought back memories for me too.ours was smaller but we had great fun setting it up.
I can imagine how fascinating it must have been for you all when it was set up

@responsiveme the book I'm currently writing is about the Railway Station I grew up close to.
