If they are HO 2 rail DC locos, then yes.   However if they are really old, they may have deep flanges on the wheels, so might not run all that well.  I think that some Roco trains are 3 rail to run on the Marklin track, so be sure they are not that type as these do not work on 2 rail without serious modification.

Hi wiliam,

A couple of things worth mentioning:

  • You may want to turn your CAPS lock off because 1) it makes posts more difficult to read, and 2) it's considering shouting here on the forum
  • When posting a new topic, it's best to be specific with your subject titles instead of just using "Need help".  (A suggested title might be "Road bed and Roco & Brawa locos")  Being more specific helps keep track of which thread is which and saves folks time from opening a thread that they are either not interested in or can not offer you help with.  As an example, imagine if all the threads on pg. 1 were entitled "Need help".  Does that make sense?

Thanks, wiliam...and welcome to the forum if you're new here.
