ABOUT MARKLIN TRAINS:
Gebr. Märklin & Cie. GmbH
or
Märklin
(
MÄRKLIN
or
MAERKLIN
in capital letters) is a German
toy
company. The company was founded in 1859 and is based at
Göppingen
in Baden-Württemberg. Although it originally specialised in
doll house
accessories, today it is best known for
model railways
and technical toys. In some parts of Germany and in Sweden, the company's name is almost synonymous with model railways.
MARKLIN TRAIN HISTORY:
Märklin was founded by Theodor Friedrich Wilhelm Märklin in 1859.
Märklin released its first wind-up train with carriages that ran on standardised track in 1891, noting that railway toys had the potential to follow the common practice of doll's houses, in which the initial purchase would be enhanced and expanded with more accessories for years after the initial purchase. To this end, Märklin offered additional rolling stock and track with which to expand its boxed sets.
Märklin is responsible for the creation of several popular model railway gauges or scale, noteworthy exceptions being
N scale
and
Wide gauge
. In 1891, Märklin defined gauges 1-5 as standards for
toy trains
and presented them at the
Leipzig
Toy Fair. They soon became international standards. Märklin followed with
0 gauge
(by some accounts as early as 1895 or as late as 1901),
H0 scale
in 1935, and the diminutive
Z scale
, 1:220, in 1972 — smallest in the world for decades — under the name Mini-Club (the scale of Z was assigned after the product line was introduced). Mini-Club was developed as Märklin's answer to
Arnold
Rapido's introduction of
N gauge
.
Today, Märklin manufactures and markets trains and accessories in
Gauge 1
,
H0 scale
, and
Z scale
. In 1994 Märklin acquired the
Nuremberg
based model train manufacturer
Trix
producing DC-operated H0 and
N scale
. Märklin's older trains are considered highly collectible, and Märklin's current offerings enjoy premium status among hobbyists.
Although Märklin is best known for its trains, from 1914 to 1999, the company produced mechanical construction sets similar to
Meccano
and
Erector
. Between 1967 and 1982, the company produced a slotcar system called Märklin Sprint. Märklin also produced numerous other toys over the years, including lithographed tinplate toy automobiles and boats. From 1909 until well into the 1950s they sold a range of alcohol-burning
model steam engines
. These were very educational toys, and could be linked to
dynamos
to provide lighting. In the late 1990s and Märklin purchased the assets of
Trix
in January 1997, thus adding
N gauge
to their scale lineup.
On 11 May 2006, the company, which had until then been owned by the three families Märklin, Friz and Safft, was sold to the British investment group
Kingsbridge Capital
, with the support of the employees. The purchase price was approximately million. At the time, Märklin had approximately .5 million in debt, as a result of several years of slumping sales.
In 2007, the company expanded its product offering by buying the remaining assets of the bankrupt firm,
Ernst Paul Lehmann Patentwerk
, who owned the LGB brand and product line of
G scale
model railways.
On 4 February 2009 Märklin filed for
insolvency
at the Göppingen municipal court. A year and a day later, on 5 February 2010, Märklin announced a return to profitability.
In 2013 Märklin was acquired by the
Simba Dickie Group
.
On July 22, 2013 the managing director Stefan Löbich left Märklin.
During the 2020-2021 COVID pandemic, Märklin saw an upswing in sales, leading to shortages of parts such as rails, and even found they had to hire new employees and apprentices to meet the demand.
The Märklin System
Märklin system with contact studs located in the middle of the tracks
The
Märklin system
is the technique of using a
third rail
concealed in the roadbed with only small
studs
protruding through the ties of the track. The two outer rails are connected electrically. This provides the simplified wiring enjoyed by larger gauges—such as for reverse loops—without seriously detracting from the realism of the track because only two of the rails are visible. Because the two outer rails are not electrically isolated from each other, however, some do not consider Märklin's system to be a true three-rail system. However, older sections of 'M-Track' do have an actual conductor rail rather than studs. This older system is compatible with newer trains, although the reduced clearance for the pick-up shoe can sometimes cause running difficulties.
The Märklin system has some incompatibility with other manufacturers' H0 trains. Because the wheels on Märklin's cars are not insulated, it causes shorts if its cars are used on other manufacturers' H0 track without changing the wheels. The profile of the wheels are also different (see also NEM 340). Additionally, for many years Märklin was the only brand that used
AC
for its H0 scale trains, although in the 60s
Fleischmann
, HAG, Röwa,
Roco
and others started producing trains for the Märklin system. Some people convert Märklin
locomotives
to
DC
for use on DC layouts, and by buying HAMO, Märklin had begun offering a line of DC locomotives as well, first under the name of HAMO and, after buying
Trix
, under that name.
