While Marklin doesn't use a third rail, it is the same beast. There is a growing group in O using the same idea and calling it stud rail. It looks like a comb with short teeth that sticks up through the scale track and they use sliders instead of rollers on their equipment. It blends in very well when ballasted. The one point with the stud rail group must be mentioned is they are using scale wheel sets for the most part. But that is now leaving the subject of S dual capable turnouts.
