Toys to Digital Model Train Sets
Originally a toy company that specialized in doll house accessories, Marklin found its name and fame spreading with the branching and developing the model railways.
The first ones were the wind-up trains with cars that ran on tracks.
These tracks could be expanded and extended.
Marklin realized that the initial purchase of the model trains would keep the consumer coming back for the accessories and also more train sets.
Marklin is also known to have developed model railroad gauges or scales other than N scale and Wide gauge.
The range of scales available are Gauge 1, HO scale and Z scale.
Trix, acquired by Marklin, provides Holdings of N-scale and DC operated HO scale.
Marklin's range of HO train sets came out in 1935 and have been liked by children, teenagers and adults.
The HO locomotives have diecast metal frames and metal wheels, while most of the locomotives and passenger cars have the bodies made of metal, too.
The use of metal wheels in the freight and passenger cars prevent derailments.
The HO starter sets come with a locomotive railcars, oval of track and transformer.
The C track extension sets are available to expand the track layout of a starter set, to attach the passing sidings, switching tracks and storage sidings.
Simplicity of the complex layout schemes and the challenging switching operations is the specialty feature of the Marklin train sets.
Further, the Marklin HO train sets have known to grow in value as time passes and is still growing.
The special feature of the Marklin's is the concept of third-rail track system eliminated the polarity problems in wiring and gained popularity because it was trouble-free.
The third rail is concealed in the roadbed with only small studs protruding through the track's ties, and the outer two rails are connected electrically.
Marklin also brought about the first digital rail control system.
Marklin K83 and k84 are the Digital systems with the address of each module set by a DIP switch in the case.
Right from its start in 1986, the multi-train control products has found its way to the top markets and eventually houses.
The current digital system allows simultaneous operation of up to 80 locomotives and 256 solenoid accessories all on the same layout.
The DELTA multi-train control system is the entry level for digital scale and is expandable to the more complex digital versions.
With the extensive range of products, all care is also taken to give a great packaging and also a print run number that indicates the printer, month and year of printing.
