@Fatman posted:@Mallard4468 One could faff about , but in reality the Distler requires all 3 rails to be isolated from each other as EACH rail supplies 1 phase to the motor ... requires a unique power supply as well ... one day if I do get a 3-phase Krokodile then it shall have to have a small track all of its own
but for now I will be happy with just the carriages
Here is a Photo of the 3-phase Distler that recently passed thru DutchBoys! hands
A very good concept in all reality ... infinitely variable stable speed between stopped and flat out and easy reversing ... If it caught on lives would have been a lot simpler for modellers lol

Amazing that one small manufacturer would do something so completely different. I'm guessing that the track is hard to find these days, and retrofitting standard 3-rail track would be tedious.
Maybe you should just convert all of your old electrics to MTH DCS. That would simplify things.
