I'm sure this post will lead to other questions, but thanks in advance for your help in getting started. ![]() I assume that one would still use DC for digital operation, not the AC that Marklin uses for HO, and that presents the typical problems with track polarity. what's a good (inexpensive) way to get the equivalent track to what's in a 'starter set'-the typical oval, siding, turnouts, and transformer? (I don't want the loco/cars) do folks have a preferred digital signalling format for Z? let's assume I'm really only interested in Marklin/European trains it is feasible to convert the locos I have to digital operation? I see some conversion decoders here but they're offered as DCC or Selectrix, and I'm not sure which I would want. Are they actually producing digital locos and accessories in Z scale? I've seen references to Marklin Z-scale digital, but there's not much in the Marklin catalog on their website. can I use my existing old digital controls, or should I upgrade? It looks like I could use a 'mobile station' to run a pair of trains. can anyone tell me about the pre-made layout in the picture? possible to retrofit electric control to the turnouts? I've also picked up a couple of trains (8101, 8111). It says Marklin but I wonder if it's made by Noch or someone else. I found a pre-formed Z layout in a secondhand shop. Now I have time, and I'm interested in Z-scale. I have a number of HO trains and a 6021 controller, but no space to build/run a layout, and I didn't do anything with model railroading for a long time. ![]() I think 'digital' was fairly new, but it and other aspects of Marklin's design philosophy appealed to me.
