Hi to all the community,

I purchased a Marklin H0 startup kit (this one: https://www.marklin.fr/p...3a6392c22ba02ad3a74d067) for my son for Christmas. He likes it very much and often mentions he would like the following for his birthday which is coming soon:
- Another engine, high-speed train if possible
- Additional railways

I am getting totally lost in the product offering, and have a quite limited budget. As far as I got things together in my mind:

- Railways is H0/C type, there are extension sets available, it's ok.
- Additional engine: I need this to be compatible with the "4 possible channels" setup that Marklin is using. I am still not familiar with which product will run on this, I understand there is a centre track and it is AC voltage, but then I am lost and can't afford a 500€+ spending on a new train unfortunately...

I also saw this as a possibility: https://www.modellbahnsh...92/fr/modell_256305.html

But If I buy this will the old engine be compatible?

Well, again, thanks for providing me some additional inputs on this, I appreciate :)

Regards,

With the info you provided. I will go for the https://www.modellbahnsh...92/fr/modell_256305.html as well.
