North Americans probably don't know the name of the German firm Märklin, but they are known
the world over for producing fine quality model trains. Many hobby shop shelves in the U.S. are filled with cheap mass-market junk, so it may be hard to find (or justify)
the expensive models that Märklin offers. Märklin has made a name for themselves by making high quality trains and
other toys for more than 150 years, so their declaration of bankruptcy on February 4th came as a bit of a shock.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.retrothing.com/2009/02/many--north-americans-probably-dont-know-the-name-of-the-german-firm-marklin-but-they-are-known--the-world-over.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.retrothing.com/img/85E6D37D-6096-4111-8359-2DA50C5FB9DF" alt="Try to tell me that you don't want to hug the li'l choo-choo." /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.retrothing.com/2009/02/many--north-americans-probably-dont-know-the-name-of-the-german-firm-marklin-but-they-are-known--the-world-over.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.retrothing.com/img/ECD6E67B-0DA2-456B-89E9-3F4C704AF9CC" alt="A lot of Z scale could fit in that container car!" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7453140C-4059-4CBB-97FE-963CB9BA6BF3/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
