I'll have to jump in here, since I currently have about 20 Marklin MAXI locomotives in my collection. I have operated my MAXI items on both Marklin's track and turnouts (which I really like because of the overall construction, the reliable track joiner design, and lower profile rails) and on LGB and Aristo track and turnouts.  I have had no problem operating MAXI trains on either track system. Although many of the MAXI items tend to be somewhat fanciful in design, especially those based on U.S. prototypes, the trains are beautifully constructed and they run like a fine Swiss watch--far better (and more quietly), in my experience, than most other brands of Large Scale trains. The trains are designed for AC or DC operation (with an easily installed board provided to make the change from one type of current to the other).  I have operated my MAXI locomotives with Marklin's own power packs, and have operated them on DC with various MRC packs.  Again, no problems whatsoever, in my experience. A year or so ago I had given some thought to selling most or all of my MAXI collection, but the things are so darn attractive and so well made that I changed my mind and will likely hold onto those items until such time as I can once again provide them with a suitable layout to run on--probably an indoor pike devoted exclusively to the MAXI trains (with the garden railroad being reserved for my LGB and other trains).
