Marklin Minex was a narrow gauge 1/45 scale (0 scale) train system aimed at the younger market. Minex trains use conventional Marklin HO stud contact track with HO AC controllers. The system was introduced in 1970 and was discontinued in 1972. The overall product line was modest, comprising two locomotives (one steam, one diesel), two passenger cars, and six freight cars, available both in sets, and individually. A signal was also available.
