This is a rail feeder. You may also have a Märklin transformer and - unless very old (prior to 1953) they have 3 outlets - brown is the common ground - red is the variable voltage for traction (7 to 13 VAC and 24 VAC overvoltage for direction change - yellow is the accessory power (16 VAC) Here is one good way to start with a simple notice on how to connect things CatMarklin-Signaux_modeles 342 (1961).pdf (15,178kb) downloaded 25 time(s). Greeting from cloudy Paris Jean

Look for "Maerklin Miniature Railway Handbook" in the list of links.
