Introduction to the manufacturer Märklin:
Marklin is a German brand specialising in the design of railway rolling stock under a alternating current (3-rail) operating system. Their designs are renowned for being very well detailed and very robust thanks to their metallic materials.
The model train manufacturer mainly produces products in HO: 1/87th scale from the different eras of the railway.
Marklin offers locomotives under the Analogue, Digital, Digital Sound and Digital Sound Fumigene technologies.
The brand also designs its own track components such as rails, switches, crossings, sleepers...
The Marklin power system is commonly referred to as "3-rail system" or "AC system" for alternating current.
In fact, rolling stock such as locomotives, wagons, or even passenger carriages requiring power thus capture the current via the three metal rails.
