Hi all

I was looking through different train related web sites and came across www.roco.com.

Looking at their track systems it surely looks like M C track but with alot more track combinations, angels etc.

-My question is: Is the Roco track compatible with C track from M ?
-Is the track width, height etc the same as C track ?
-Any of you using using Roco track, what is your experience etc. ?

Link to Roco track:
http://www.roco.com/grid.aspx?grid=Track

Added later: ooops, is it all for DC ?! [:I]

Not specifically for DC, but for 2-rail system without center studs.
So for your Märklin system it's useless.

Geometry of Rocoline is different to C track. The ballast is made of a type of ruber material and requires to be cut at turnouts etc. Not as good as C track in my opinion.

PS as Nico says no use for Marklin
Take care I like Marklin and will defend the worlds greatest model rail manufacturer.

It's too bad that the Roco is not compatable. Nice configurations.
