Hi guys, Im going to try and build a solid centre rail track layout and I need some help with the wiring. Is there a Marklin book that shows how to wire up the different parts of the layout and if so whats the part number.Im using 3600 track. I would appreciate any help as I want to find out what all the different track pieces do and how to wire them up .Eddie

Eddie, others on the list with more knowledge will chime in with the Marklin titles but a book that I like is Layout Building Handbook for Operators of Marklin HO Trains, by Carl Weaver. It was formerly called "Greenbergs Model Railroading with Marklin HO". This resource is strictly for analog Marklin. You will see it sometimes on ebay and Amazon in the used books. My copy is 8.5 x 11 and soft cover.
Carl shows with pictures and diagrams what he did on his layout and has M and K track tips. He also has tips for working with signals and accessories. My local library used to have a copy. Good luck and post progress picturesBigGrin
