What power system does this track use?

The track is designed for AC (Alternating Current) power systems, which is standard for Märklin model railways.

Troubleshooting

Track connection is loose

Ensure both track ends are properly aligned and push firmly until the click connection engages fully. Check for any debris obstructing the connectors.

Train derails on curves

Verify the track is laid on a level surface. Ensure enough straight track sections are used before and after curves to allow trains to stabilize. Check train wheel alignment and condition.

Electrical pickup issues

Clean the rail heads with a suitable track cleaner. Ensure all click connections are secure, as these also serve as electrical connections.
