		Take care I like Marklin and will defend the worlds greatest model rail manufacturer.

Can I get some recommendations? Thank you in advance, Hi Don't know if you got reply's / information already on the topic... I have a Piko Taurus (#57223 Kombiverkehr livery) that runs on my Marklin 3 rail track, altough this one was designed to be used on 3 rail, i do not see any reason a "normal" DC 2 rail Taurus could not be modified. Obviously you will need to add the power pick up ski, a decoder and do some internal rewiring to make it happen, but that should not be a big deal.... Jean-Pierre
