This appears to be a complete set with a controller and track. Not sure why you would buy thiis for three rail. Maybe I am missing something...for me that is not unusual. |
Take care I like Marklin and will defend the worlds greatest model rail manufacturer. |

Obviously you will need to add the power pick up ski, a decoder and do some internal rewiring to make it happen, but that should not be a big deal.... Jean-Pierre

I converted a Piko 2 rail DC Br189 to 3 rail. The best way to do this is to order the replacement AC trucks and slider from Piko. Usually, the DC trucks don't have a place to mount the slider. I used a Lokpilot for the decoder.
