Most miniature railroads are adored by kids, especially when they are given to them during Christmas. Their eyes simply twinkle in delight as they see their new train running round and round. This is how avid fans usually start their huge collection. However, when you look at it, most of the fans are adults already, which is not so much of a surprise since they can buy whatever model they want. In fact, some even spend over 500 million a year for this collection.

There are different kinds of collectors. There are those who want to have the high- end models, making sure not to be outdone by fellow railroad fans. On the other hand, there are those who still go with the vintage ones, such as the American Flyer Model Trains.

American Flyer Model Trains came out in 1907. The company went through many ups and downs. Eventually, in 1967, they stopped manufacturing their own models, and the company was sold to the Lionel Company. However, American Flyer was living in its glory days when A. C. Gilbert was spearheading the company. It was able to produce high- quality trains, even pushing one model railroad company out of the competition and was the closest rival of the Lionel Model Train Company.

The American Flyer became popular and trusted with its superb operating accessories, real- to- life sounds, and smoking steamers. But, their most outstanding product was the S- model locomotives, cars, and tracks, while every other company were selling model trains in the O, HO, and N tracks. Gilbert managed to produce a train that was smaller than the O, which other companies considered too large.

Sure, Gilbert was not the first manufacturer of these things; but, he sure did an exceptional job in producing high- quality locomotives and rolling stock. It even reached a point that his name was the company.

The S- scale, or the S- gauge, has the 1:64 ratio, which is also equivalent to 3/16 inch is to 1 foot. It is larger than the usual HO scale; but, smaller than the O scale. This type of measurement allows track layout to be made in smaller spaces.

S- gauge model trains have been around since the early times. However, they made a breakthrough in the market only when the re- designed American Flyer model trains, which were the product of The A. C. Gilbert Company in Connecticut, USA, surfaced in the 1930s. These designs started out as clockwork model trains, and eventually became electric trains. They were patterned from the S- scale; but, they ran on O- gauge tracks.

A few years later, Gilbert made other modifications, and introduced a re- design of the tracks for the S- scale trains. He stopped using traditional three track rails at that time.

The three rack rail made use of two outer tracks for the wheels to go on with the third, center track. These tracks were where the electric current ran to provide power to the model train motor. Compared to the other and previous models, this one looked the most realistic. Aside from these tracks fitting smaller S- scale model trains, these tracks also had curves with a different radius, which was more suitable to American Flyer’s locomotives and rolling stock.

A lot of aficionados of the S- scale were introduced to this American Flyer design when they were given to them as Christmas presents. At that time, Flyer and Lionel were the two companies that were competing as the company that had the better model trains.

Whether or not they are a product of American Flyer, S- scale model trains are becoming popular again, especially with the kids.

The Z scale was first started by Marklin, a German manufacturer in 1972 at the Nuremberg Toy Fair. This scale was one of the smallest model railways, and the work of genius by Helmut Killian, the said company’s head design engineer. That particular type of scale was chosen so as to bring a new model to the market, which would be the smallest. Many tried to do this before; but, they were unsuccessful. The farthest that they went was creating the T- gauge, which were designed in Japan and manufactured in China.

Marklin’s decision to create a digital train control system in Z scale was made known as early as 1988, and there were three locomotives that had a built- in digital encoder each. However, technology was not yet updated and high- end at that time, and so, they had to forego these designs. Eventually, these problems were solved, and the Z scale was provided with the most advanced electronics, such as microprocessors.

As of late, Marklin is still the leading producer and manufacturer of these Z scale model trains. Micro- Trains Line from Talent, Oregon merged with Marklin, and became a co- manufacturer and co- supplier of rolling stock, locomotives, track systems and structures which cater to the North American model. In Europe and North America, there are manufacturers that are slowly rising, and they are particularly selling tools, electronics, scratch- building supplies, track- building aids, structures and rolling stocks.

Furthermore, another German company introduces Z scale system which comes with a 4.5 mm gauge track. American Z Lines is another company that produces a string of North American models of diesel locomotives, rolling stocks, brass model steams, and diesel locomotives. In Japan, Tokyo Marui has released a line of Z- scale trains. For collectors who like challenge then working with Z scale model trains would really pose a challenge for it requires much time and effort to set-up this train.

In the 1960s, they manufactured the Magne-Matic coupler system that operates at the N scale, which is newer and smaller. Eventually, they released wheels, trucks, and under frames to add to their growing variety of products.

It was also during this time that Micro-Trains Line was founded, and it soon specialized in the manufacturing of N scale model trains, Magne-Matic couplers, and accessories. Moreover, they added cars and couplers in the Nn3 scale and Z scale.

Marklin manufactured trains of different scales which include the O scale, N scale, Ho scale, Z scale and more. Eventually, they reduced their models to the HO, Z, and Gauge 1 scales.

Its purpose is to connect the two outer tracks for a simpler wiring. This feature and design is debatable because of its authenticity.
