MARKLIN offers almost every imaginable model, scale or size. If you don't have a copy of their latest catalog, you should! You can link directly to that catalog and their web site by clicking on MARKLIN right here, but there is nothing like having a MARKLIN catalog in your hands in front of the fireplace, late in the evening! It is truly a real wish book. Everything from the wonderful HO Class 89 DB Tank Loco (over 5 million made!) to the exotic Swiss "Crocodile".
Typically, MARKLIN is the
availability of this unique and
powerful locomotive in no less than
GAUGE 1, HO, N-SCALE, and from
MINITRIX, the remarkable
Z-SCALE. NO OTHER COMPANY
CAN OFFER SO MUCH OR SO
MANY CHOICES!
And then for us Americans (and Europeans too) there is the Union Pacific "Big Boy." This year MARKLIN is offering a fantastic American starter set with two trains; a Union Pacific freight with the "Big Boy" at the point, and a Santa Fe passenger train with aluminum cars and an AB set of F7's. Here's how it is described in the catalog:
"TERRIFIC! The Americans say terrific, when they are totally enthusiastic about something. Terrific means something such as colossal, fantastic, great - which rather exactly describes thei American digital premium starter set. This starter set with two trains really only consists of superlatives: the longest HO freight train (170cm/67"), the largest starter set track layout (11.40 meters/over 37 feet of C track). The steam and diesel locomotives in theis set are both equipped with digital high efficiency propulsion, sound effects circuits, and other controllable functions. The new boxcar freight cars and the streamliner passenger cars (with aluminum bodies) represent the finest in the are of model building. The wide radius C track turnouts are already equipped with turnout motors, and the 6021 control unit offers the entire range of digital enjoyment right from the start - terrific!" (MODEL TRAINS CLASSICS, LLC has the two rail DC TRIX rendition of the Big Boy, the same model as the AC version, on display at the shop)
MODEL TRAIN CLASSICS, LLC also features a selection of unique MARKLIN and HAMO pieces in our museum. Everything from charming four-wheeled tinplate coaches to luxurious MITROPA coaches. Come in and take a look around. Always a good selection of "Starter Sets" too....
MARKLIN track is always a fascination, and we have examples of HO track from the 30's to the present. Unfortunately the much loved "M" (for metal) track is virtually no longer available ... and yes, we know, its passing is much lamented!
But time marches on, and MODEL TRAIN CLASSICS, LLC has a good selection of "C-Track" and almost instantaneous availability of "K-Track". Accessories abound too.
MARKLIN/TRIX products are very special. They always have been. Whether you need a single piece of track, or the fabulous TRIX 2-rail "Big Boy", ..... We've got it. Let MODEL TRAIN CLASSICS, LLC, be YOUR source for everything MARKLIN!
Model Train Classics, LLC is a retail business that maintains a downtown storefront, operating layouts, hundreds of in-stock items and old fashioned service. But we understand that this business is a competitive one and that we must offer more than our competition one that we must offer more than our competition to succeed.
As of the posting of this notice, and indefinitely forward, we are commending with a special program for Marklin products: any individual Marklin item retail priced at $350 minimum or wholesale at $250 minimum, will be sold upon request, for 10% over our cost. Starter sets are not included in this offer.
