THE MUSEUM |
|
The museum / shop is devided into
areas dedicated to different types and eras of
construction: There is a part all reseved to the
childrens, with games and model toys ( the museum seems to
be a place of recreation for the father but also for their
chindren!). Other remaing space is for the sale, with alla
digital accessories, and for the model showcases
Museum is always under construction
and change: this year the main theme is the anniversary of
Z scale, so there is a large area dedeicated to it, with
small plastic and vitrine dedicated to the old and new
models.
|
|
The path inside is made of course by
the windows of different sizes, where are esposed the most
exclusive models of the rare collection.
Exclusive model "1891 A1" probably
one of the first built, it was hand made and painted,
irregulary shaped, but surely charm and value to
collectors; such as a part of collection this loco, after
the theft, was found on january 2005.

The visit ended with a few purchases : items for sale are
mostly digital, part of the wide range currently
available, including various accessories.
We love the
old trains model, the cast iron, so we did'nt a special
expences, but only some catoloque and books in the section
dedicated on store. |
|
|
In conclusion the visit at the Marklin Museum was for us,
but expecially for me, a real nice experience!
This experience increase my knowledge in a Marklin
brand and now i know the entire chain of Marklin
production.
