Layout planning and compatibility

The Märklin H0 version uses the centre-contact three-rail system on 16.5 mm track. For locomotives the electrical system is essential; a corresponding Trix H0 two-rail version is a different reference. With cars, wheelsets, couplers and any electrical supply must be considered together.

A compatible digital controller provides access to the lighting and sound functions.
