The focus of Märklin’s successful railway models was on station buildings that were based on real-life structures. The Leipzig station was without dispute the company’s most elaborate model in terms of scale and production and is still considered the top offering in their station range today. Its proud price of up to 250 marks made it unaffordable for the majority of the population.
