Ah, incandescent light.  I use incandescent, fluorescent  and halogen.
Yeah, I get it real bright.  Either way, that picture is the result of poor
lighting.  I actually bought a surf shack because I thought it had an orange
plate.  It looked orange in the picture - and that was the picture on the
box!  (i.e. I saw it in person and not a picture of the box)  I guess that
even professionals have a problem sometimes.

My digital camera takes quite nice pictures with flash, of course it
took even better pictures when I added a slave flash. That picture
actually looked more to me like it was taken using room lights only
(incandescent lights are very yellow).

I don't think it is the lighting. Usually you can recover the colors • by
adjusting settings for the picture in a program like Photoshop or even
Microsoft Photo Editor.
I did not succeed in doing so, so my guess is this person PAINTED the • tracks
yellow.
Also take a look at the train in the picture, which has the usual • colors.
Even the grey doors in the red car seem really grey...
Why would anybody paint his track?

Greetings,

That's just an incredibly poor picture of normal track. The train • set is
4563 (which IS one of the first 9V train sets, but not one of the • first
EVER LEGO Trains...).
