Welcome to the forum, yes the train runs off 16 volts, AC, not DC.

You should be able to pick up a good Marklin 110vac controller to run it as-is without any problem.

You can also convert it to Digital if you wish but it depends on what condition it is in for how good it will run afterward.

Many here would suggest leave it as it is and treat yourself a new or newer loco to run digital, but of course if it came from your Grandpa then it's got sentimental value. PLenty of old loco's have been converted and running well.

Cheers
