Could anyone recommend any good Marklin stockists in those places, I will be travelling on the Bermina, William Tell and Glacier Express, hopeful I will find something interesting along the way!

Also, in Zurich you have Zuri Tech right by the train station, and Roundhouse which is a 15 minute tram away. Both are great, but roundhouse is incredible. There are others, but those are my three favorites...

My favourite shops are (in no particular order): Roger Suter (Meggen) Zuri-Tech (Zurich) Barp Tech (Winterthur) Bercher und Sternlicht (Basel) Zuba Tech (St. Gallen) Bahnorama (Bern) Eyro (Interlaken) by appointment Buehler (Interlaken) Roundhouse (Zurich) Tram 14 from Bahnhof or S-Bahn to Zurich-Wiedikon Messingers (Luzern) Brass and more Bolier (Geneva) Molard (Geneva) Born (Rapperswil on Lake of Zurich) (they make models) Generally, Maerklin items are more expensive in Switzerland than in Germany, so keep your eyes out for Export Models and other special items that might not be readily available in other countries. Those ones are worth the extra cost. Regards Mike C

Some of the stock is downstairs, some on display in showcases along the stairs upwards. However, "pharmacy prices", as our saying here goes... With regard to Mike's listing, I generally agree with him but would have added Amiba in Wetzikon and Wemoba in Pieterlen. Barp-Tech at Winterthur is no longer worth a visit.
