Being Bob Oehler's model it more than likely has either ModelKastens tracks or Fruilmodel tracks. Both are workable indi links. The Modelkastens ones are plastic while the Fruils are metal. Greatmodels.com has both. I have used both and like them very much.
Be warned though Aftermarket tracks are the first sign of AMS. Also these tracks are not cheap. Either will double the cost of that Mobelwagen.... However they do look awsome..

Yea your looking at around 30 to 35 bucks usd for either modelkasten or fruilmodel, I prefer fruilmodel because of the ease of construction , modelkastens are just too frustrating to deal with again for me , they started out indy and ended up almost completly glued ! They do look nice however !

missionmodels.com has some also.

I looked at the pic, and those look like Modelkastens to me. They seem a bit to "lacey" for Friuls, but I could be wrong. I agree with specter, MKs are too frustrating. A major portion of mine wound up as a solid block, too. They are very fragile!

well, we are all different. I prefer the modelkasten tracks. Yes they are frustrating, but they look great and I like working with plastic. But really, you can't go wrong with either of these, modelkasten and Friulmodelisimo, they are both great.

R&J Enterprises carries Fruil tracks too. Their prices are lower than any I've seen elsewhere ($28 or lower), but I admit I havent looked them up on greatmodels.com--that site really screws with my web browser. Too many bells & whistles.
