Markin trains are some of the highest quality model trains you can buy. Made in Germany, Marklin model trains represent a higher level of detail and much better run characterisitcs than cheaper "toy trains" -- they run more smoothly at varying speeds, without jerking and stopping at slower speeds. Marklin trains are produced in 3 scales: (1) Z scale, which is the smallest scale available; (2) HO scale, the most popular scale for model trains; and (3) "Marklin 1", which is essentially the same as G scale, the largest commonly available model train scale.

The origin of the oblong pieces of paste-board used in card games is obscure, but they are certainly of very great antiquity, and probably came originally from Asia. They were known in Europe by the middle of the 14th Century, but their use did not become general for another 50 vears.
The earliest cards were probably painted by hand; and not made from wood-blocks before 1423. Tarots, probably the earliest type of card, which are still used in parts of Europe, had 78 cards to the pack, 4 suits of 14, with 4 court cards, and 22 emblematic cards, or trumps.
The earliest suits consisted of hearts, bells, leaves, and acorns; later swords, batons, cups, and money were used. French cards of the 15th Century, use modern suits, coeur, trefle (clubs), pique (spades), and carreau (diamonds).
The court cards in early packs were king, chevalier, and knave. Playing cards have been taxed in England since the reign of James I.
