Metallus Construction Sets
Metallix[2]
Metallus produces a wide range of mainly Märklin type spare parts, together with a few sets. They also produced some special sets for Märklin after Märklin stopped manufacturing their system. They were made in Germany by Rekers Digitaltechnik GmbH & Co.KG from about 2000 to the present. Their website is https://www.metallus.de/.
They also made some Trix-like parts under the name 'Metallix'.
