Since
Marklin revolutionized the model railroad world with
the introduction of Z Gauge (1:220 scale) in 1972, model railroad enthusiasts
have come to appreciate the intricate detail and quality craftsmanship Marklin
puts into all Z Gauge products. From hefty locomotives made from die-cast metal to rolling stock
that is incredibly rich in prototype detailing, Marklin
Z provides a realism unsurpassed in small scale railroading.
And Marklin's attention to detail doesn't stop with
trains. The operating system features nickel silver rails for optimum electrical
pickup; color-coded plug and socket wiring, and a system of plugs and sockets
built into the ends of each track piece to ensure proper alignment as well as
reliable mechanical connection.
And with hundreds of American and European prototypes, track
and accessories, the real magic of Marklin Z is using your imagination to
create unusual operating layouts in very limited spaces. In fact, a Marklin Z
Gauge Starter Set can be fully
operational in space the size of a normal briefcase!
