Marlin utilized three different gauges. As it developed additional gauge, 0 1 quarter, was added to its list. ~Hornby model train first came in 1920's. It then moved to China}. In the 1920's the earliest Hornby People collected these model trains. It was their dream}. replica train was launched in UK and there after in 1955 it moved its base to China.

During world war I Germany then the largest company of model trains , could not cope with the requirement. As a result industries like JEP in France came into manufacturing and Switzerland was not far behind in the race. During this phase 00 and H0 gauges were designed. 00 gauge became the only measurement. In the later part of 1930 Hornby launched Hornby Dublo 12 volt DC electric and clockwork models when 0 gauge was out dated. England produced 00gauge models. France also produced H0 gauges. They produced after world war II But Hornby still persistently with it 0 gauge model train manufacture. His models were having three rail tracks which was a marketing mistake for him.His models had three tracks. It was a great mistake. It failed in the market. During this period many industries had changed over to double tracks. They all had 12 volt DC electricity and two tracks.. Hornby pu into practice this idea only in 1950, which saw a marketing boom all over the industries of model trains.
