The Marklin power system is commonly referred to as "3-rail system" or "AC system" for alternating current.
In fact, rolling stock such as locomotives, wagons, or even passenger carriages requiring power thus capture the current via the three metal rails.
This Marklin alternating current (3 rails) system stands out for its reliability and guarantees no power cuts to your model railway network.
The imitation wood railway sleepers and ballast arefinely reproduced. The aesthetic appearance of the rail is realistic.
The track profile is made of a metal alloy called "Maillechort" of high quality that guarantees a long service life as well as simplified maintenance.
The power supply for your network is made via invisible contacts under the rails. This electrical connection is easily made without soldering thanks to Marklin power supply fishplates reference 74040.
The Marklin rails are hooked together using a very robust clip system which allows infinite assembly and disassembly. This makes the rails ideal for both temporary and permanent mounting.
