How to Identify Trains
Packing my Trains? 

 


Here is a simple page designed to allow you to Identify the type of train you have by the type of track it uses. I buy all scales of trains.

  1. Z Scale - Extremely small Trains, they make several Briefcase type trains. Primarily Made by Marklin and called Mini Club.
  2. N Scale - Slightly Larger than Z- Scale and much more popular. Manufactured by many different complains such as Trix, Atlas, Auhagen, Life-Like, Con-Cor and Bachmann.
  3. HO Scale - Very common trains size the is "Half O" gauge. This size became popular because it was easier to find room to set up the smaller trains.
  4. Marklin HO scale - Actually uses a hidden contact system in the middle of the track which looks like little points in between the rails.
  5. S Scale - S Scale was adopted by American Flyer and was promoted as real looking track, compared to Lionel's Popular O gauge track which has three rails.
  6. O Scale - The most common and Train size found,  made by Almost all Toy Train Manufacturers.
  7. Standard or Wide Gauge - Large Track Used for Standard Gauge Trains made BY Lionel and American Flyer Wide Gauge trains.
