Hello Everyone,

    I have been collecting Marklin trains for a while and have built a layout base on their HO C track and digital controls. I have seen some interesting Baskman engines that I would like to integrate into this layout. I saw a youtube video of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJwejAoYzto. Can anyone tell me how to do it?

Thanks

Since Maerklin is a 3-rail AC system, and everyone else is 2-4ail DCC, I do not think it is practical--best to keep the two separate.

In the video you posted, he said to take a look at this video and it shows the pickup, etc.
