Marklin Trains

Marklin has been producing model trains for generations, with equipment representing railway eras from early steam through modern European rail. Shop Marklin steam engines, diesel locomotives, electric locomotives, passenger cars, freight cars, and complete train sets across the brand's different scales and product lines.

German and European prototypes are central to Marklin, from classic steam locomotives and diesel engines to Swiss Crocodiles, modern electric power, high-speed trains, passenger coaches, and freight wagons. Trainz carries current products alongside pre-owned, vintage, discontinued, and collectible Marklin trains as inventory changes.

Marklin HO Scale brings together the brand's 1:87 locomotives, rolling stock, train sets, track, and other equipment. Shop the complete HO collection or go directly to the type of Marklin HO train or track you need.

Marklin Z Scale brings locomotives, rolling stock, train sets, track, structures, and accessories to compact 1:220 model railroading. Browse the full Z Scale collection or narrow your search by train type.

Marklin is more than locomotives and rolling stock. Build or expand a railroad with Marklin Track, including HO C Track, K Track, and discontinued M Track, along with available track for other Marklin scales.

For operating and maintaining your railroad, browse Marklin Control for digital controls, transformers, decoders, boosters, and related equipment, or Marklin Train Parts for motors, gears, wheels, pickups, couplers, and replacement components.

Depending on inventory, Marklin layout equipment can also include buildings, structures, signals, catenary, bridges, lighting, figures, vehicles, and other accessories.

Beyond HO and Z, Marklin has also produced Gauge 1 locomotives, rolling stock, train sets, and related equipment. Gauge 1 uses 45 mm track and is commonly associated with approximately 1:32 scale models. Although it shares its track gauge with some G Scale trains, Gauge 1 is a different scale and should not be treated as interchangeable simply because the track gauge is the same.
