Hi everyone,

I have a question but sometimes I miss the transformation of a simple track into a contact track.

It doesn't work for the feedback.

My question: can I use it as a simple track in the layout?

Thank you

You can, but the correct terminals must be used, and the correct track section cut, or they don't work. Then you must replace that track or section because current may not flow through it at all. You must do this even when using the Marklin contact track set if you lengthen the section between them. You want the section to be long enough for long cars. Guy at AJC kids has a youtube tutorial on how to make your own.

Thank you for your comment

I won't take a chance.

Tracks for s88 that don't work will go in the garbages
