Märklin - innovation and tradition combined
Märklin, one of the world's leading manufacturers of model trains, is known for its outstanding quality and innovative strength.

The Märklin 48870 H0 heavy-duty flat car is another example of the passion and precision that Märklin puts into every model.

Moving parts such as the turret and the tank's gun increase the realism and make this model a real highlight.
