train uses acpower as its source.as in case of dc there would be only steady state conditions and transmission distance would be low.but in ac,it is sinusoidal waveform and transmission of power source can be done at a larger rate with high effeciency and minimal lose.so ac source is used in electric trains.

Can you use a marxs trains with a Lionel transformer?

Yes, Marx trains and Lionel transformers are generally compatible since they both operate on similar AC power systems. However, it's advisable to check the voltage and wattage ratings to ensure that the transformer provides appropriate power for the Marx trains without causing damage. Additionally, using a transformer with variable voltage control can help regulate the speed and performance of the Marx trains.

Is 650 volt used in UK?

In short No,The UK and most of Europe uses 230V ac single phase for domestic and light commercial installations and 400V ac three phase for industrial and heavy commercial requirements.The confusion comes the fact that a lot of cables are rated for use up to 600 or 650V ac and have markings on the insulation showing this.The wiring regulations allow for systems up to 1000V ac but these are rare. Distribution circuits ie the underground or over head supply cables between power stations and substations use 11,000 33,000, 125,000 and even 400,000 Volts.The UK previously used 240 / 415V and a lot of Europe used 220 / 380V but this was harmonised in 1988 with effect from 1995 (these changes make no practical difference for the user) but a lot of equipment is still labeled 240V or 415V.
