Here you will find a condensed version of the "New Items for 1998" brochure from Märklin presented at the 49th Nürnberg International Toy Fair. Naturally we only include the Z items. The actual brochure should not be missed as it contains much interesting background and in-depth information about the prototypes and models. And of course the pictures are better. There are no Z items in "Exclusiv 1/1998" nor is the Z Insider model mentioned. The Club car is pictured.
