In the year 1891 Marklin began the first model train with a complete system where the clockwork provided the driving power and then it was properly dyed.

Marklin utilized three different gauges. As it developed another gauge, 0 1 quarter, was added to its list. Hornby model train first came in 1920’s. It then moved to China.
