Who Is Marklin?
Marklin has a long history of building model trains. Since 1891 they've grown to be the "World Leader in Model Railroading". Time Machine Hobby is an authorized Marklin dealer carrying their HO and Z scales as well as their #1 gauge lines. They are a trusted brand and they stand by their products 100%.
What are the benefits and drawbacks to using Marklin?
Marklin is a unique brand. When purchasing this brand there are a few things to consider.
One, once you buy Marklin, you'll always buy Marklin. What we mean by that is that the parts are not interchangeable with other brands. Lets say you see a really nice looking box car that you want to get with your Marklin set. If it's not Marklin, it won't work.
Two, the price is a bit more. You're going to get what you pay for, and Marklin definitely delivers on quality.
Marklin carries everything that you will need to get you started. And once you've achieved that, they have everything you need to keep going. They carry a full line of Locomotives, Box Cars, and Accessories. That's why Marklin's HO line is arguably the most popular brand.
