That IS funny 
Now for a serious question: Generally speaking, do your trains run clockwise or counter-clockwise?

In one way it's right of course
I'd put in a bid, but there's no shipping to Australia

Lajos,
I just had to tease this seller a bit so this is the question I asked.........
"How can you tell it is a left turn piece of track? I need a right turn piece of track. Thank you."
I am waiting to see what answer this seller gives me.
I really really need a right hand piece of track...

This seller has advertised again, but this time the item is described as "turn track merklin z". Maybe someone sent him a message or maybe he's a member of this forum!
What gets me is advertising one piece of track at a time.

I wrote to him and jokingly told him I was looking for a right turn piece of track.
He wrote back that it was a piece left over from his grandmother?
Here is his quote..... "not sure i just put that because that's what it looked like. left over track grandmother had."
I seriously doubt he knows anything about model railroading.....
"Toto, I don't think we are in Kansas anymore"

Loren,
In my travels in eBay, I've found that some sellers buy stuff at local estate sales, inherit stuff, or sell things for friends/family - and they most often don't know anything about what they're selling. eBay is truly a buyer beware place. In this instance of the left turn track ( !!!), if you ask any questions about the condition of the track, the seller couldn't tell you anything useful about that either. Buyer beware!
