The Marklin Europe HO Scale Starter Electric Train Set is a small replica of a Swiss dual-system locomotive.

With an oval track this train set is sure to please any child as well as a seasoned train set collector.

Modern multi-system electric locomotives now enable cross border rail service in many European countries. The Swiss Federal Railways maintain just such a roster of motive power that is used universally far beyond the borders of the Swiss Confederation. For that reason you can often see train compositions on German rail routes made up of cars and locomotives from a variety of European countries.
