Hello guys,

I have a setup with marklin type c tracks and css3+ station that I work with mainly marklin loco mfx

I noticed that some trix loco are DCC mfx with sound

Can I run trix loco on my setup? and what it's preventing me from doing it.

I attached a model that I'm looking at https://www.ebay.com/itm...D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR5a4-ePdZg

thank you !

Yes, you can control Trix-loco with cs3+. This controller can utilize motorola, dcc and mfx.

Except that Trix is two track with no center rail power. The CS3+ does not care whether the power out is to a two rail or three rail system. But the two rail loco will not run on your three rail system without changes to it or the layout.

Well, Trix locos with a 2xxxx ref number are.
Trix locos with a 3xxxx ref number are for Trix Express three-rail track.
Trix locos with 4xxxx ref number are for Märklin three-rail track.
So yes, some Trix locos were made to run on Märklin H0 track.
