I have an interest in picking up a Marklin Amtrak X995. This is the prototype AEM7 electric, which would be operating during the time period I intend to model.
That said, it is set up for use on European track. I do have a spare set of AEM7 motors and Wheel sets from an Atlas model, but I don't know if these will match.
Is it possible to convert these engines to DC easily? Or would it likely become a mess of a project? Is anyone familiar with marklin models in general, and know how they are wired?
