## Description

From the manufacturer About Us Theodor Friedrich Wilhelm Märklin founded a company in 1859, which, in addition to all sorts of daily necessities, also artfully shaped doll kitchen accessories, miniature carriages and toy prams. People who once were allowed to experience the magic of a Märklin model train preserve this experience in mind. In the company's history, Märklin evolved from a small factory for tin toys to a producer of metal toys. Today, Märklin serves as all major track lengths of the model railway market. Our goal is always to provide our customers with solutions that are at the height of time. So today we can offer an assortment that allows enormously versatile gaming experiences, but where everything fits perfectly together even after years.

Review: Review by a novice with an expert model enthusiast as other half. - This was delightful once we had it up and running. You do need good eyesight to connect the rails and a gentle but firm pushing/wriggling action to connect them. The detail is incredible and we both enjoyed watching it run. For a novice though the instruction leaflet is basic. There are no instructions for wiring up the power box nor a decent layout just to get going nor the fact that the tender needed to be attached to the loco to get it to run. Most of these things a model train enthusiast would cope with easily but not if you've never done it before. Overall though,m very happy despite the bottom of the box being missing which of course affects its value long term should you decide to sell on.
