The locos need an extra rail down the center for power. The wheels on the cars will short out a 2-rail layout. I think the wheels may give problems at North American standard switches and crossings. The power supply is AC, not DC. And the couplings are different (but you may be able to change them to Kadees on the newer cars.)

And Marklin is European, so NMRA (National Model Railroad Association) standards don't matter at all to them.The problem is that manufacturers only voluntarily abide by NMRA standards.
