<p>Marklin is AC and does not run on your DC layout. A conversion is a major task and cannot be recommended, as you will not only have to replace the motor, but also insulate the frame and the wheels. Look for Trix instead - Trix is Marklin´s DC brand. Fleischmann and Liliput (owned by Bachmann) is DC and you should be fine running it on your layout, providing it is not the old stuff with pizza cutter flanges and your rail is code 100.</p> <p>Most of Europe is on 220V AC, but that does not matter at all. It´s the track power which counts, and that is 12 - 16V DC for Fleischmann and Liliput, as well as Trix.</p>
