Model railroaders interest and passion, whether young or old, will connect you to generations of railroaders across the world. Marklin trains come in three gauges differentiating in size and characteristics. The three gauges are 1 Gauge, HO Gauge, and Z Gauge. 1 Gauge, slightly larger than O Gauge (1:32 scale), locomotives are impressive, featuring great attention to detail. HO Gauge is by far the most popular and successful scale (1:87) offered by Marklin.  HO scale offers the largest assortment of locomotives, rolling stock and accessories. Z Gauge is the smallest scale offered by Marklin.  It is very small and delicate, having a very exclusive feel and look because of its size. A small space is all you need to set up a Z gauge layout.

Trains and Toy Soldiers offers a wide selection of new and used Marklin trains including locomotives (diesel locomotives, steam locomotives and electric locomotives), rolling stock (boxcars, wine cars, gondolas, wagon cars, hoppers and crane cars), and accessories (track, scenery, figures and vehicles).
