To Fred Klein,
I hope you get this thank you- I don't know much about using forum boards. Your reply about Marklin HO was EXACTLY the information I need. Thank you so very much.

Hi Folks,
I want to buy a Christmas themed train car for my husband. I know absolutely nothing about model trains so please tell me if I buy a Marklin HO Christmas car from Germany if it is guaranteed to work or run on husband's Marklin HO set  that he just got (used) that's also from Germany.
Thank you SO much
