I used to play with Marklin HO (still have it all) . The trains are AC and are supplied by a third center rail. Yes you can run it on 50 or 60 hz, it doesn't matter , it works either way. Also, you can run the trains on DC but they won't reverse by changing the polarity, but otherwise work just as well. Many Marklin engines from 30 years ago have a manual reverser switch on the loco (many but not all)so you can manualy change direction. The AC transformer has a reverser. Weird stuff eh?! But its pretty neat.
