This set includes flat cars, a transformer, a steam locomotive, and tracks, that can be arranged to create your desired layout. It is a vintage starter set produced by the Marklin brand, made in Germany, and features a corporate roadname that emphasis the brand's prowess. The details of the diecast construction and the analog control system are impeccable. The 1:87 scale of the trains and tracks make for an excellent and realistic hobbyist experience.
