Who makes the most realistic model trains?
Kato, Atlas, and Micro-Trains are the top names for the N scale. Each manufacturer has a knack for surpassing expectations when it comes to quality, realism, and operability. Bachmann and LifeLike are two manufacturers that can work if you’re on a budget.
Is Bachmann a good brand?
They make solid basic and high-quality RTR stuff. As was suggested, Bachmann’s spectrum line is very good, and they do make some sets in the spectrum line, but their regular sets should be avoided.
Are Marklin trains good?
Today, Marklin ranks among the top toy manufacturers in the world and produces some of the highest quality scale model trains.
Prices for antique and vintage Marklin items vary dramatically, but quality examples demand a premium in the market.
