ANS:

RailStand 跑步機有多項創新專利設計以提供車友最可靠的機構與最佳的測試功能. 此外本產品的外觀, 質感, 導電方式, 絕緣方式, 穩定性, 擴充性, 方便性等也都是我們的竭盡心力設計的重點, 我們有心做最好的最頂級的跑步機給車迷, 雖然我們的價位與 Marklin 牌相當, 但是若以產品功能, 配件, 擴充性, 功能性, 結構等做比較, 相信 RailStand 絕對物超所質, 必定是您最佳的選擇. 兹就RailStand與 Marklin模型火車跑步機之差異性比較如下:

RailStant was released in June 2013. People always ask us what's the different between the RailStand roller test stand and Marklin/SMT roller test stand, Here after we have a table to let people understand easier comparison in function and structure points.

RailStand and Marklin roller test stand "functions compare":
RailStand roller test stand	Marklin roller test stand
可測試電氣機車經由集電功導電的功能(包裝含此配件) Can test the power through the pantograph. The pantograph bracket attachment is included with the RailStand.	無集電功導電測試功能. Marklin roller test stand doesn't have the pantograph test function and attachment.
專利的可調式培林組及組合式軌道設計讓您可測試各種類型的火車, 尤其是有具有雙動力組機車頭和各式大型火車, 如: Big Boy, DDA40X, BR V320 柴油機車、電車等. . The Railstand has adjustable bearing brackets that can be spaced to accommodate a variety of locomotive wheel arrangements; and the combined tracks also has moveable that can be test differnt type locomotives. Your are able to test all kind of the locomotives.	不銹鋼第三軌設計使培林組被限制無法移動故只適用於測試 Marklin 蒸氣機車和舊式單動輪組傳動的柴油機車及電力機車頭. 若遇到新開發的雙動輪組傳動的柴油機車和電力機車就無法使用. The stainless wire (for AC power) let the bearing brackets can not move out, It's only suit for the Marklin small locomotives. PS: #78151 available adjust testing distance is 19.5CM
RailStand HO-5208 的培林組有效工作區為35.8公分長,可同時測試兩三部機車頭貨具有雙傳動輪組的柴電機車, 如: DDA40X, BR V320 (Marklin #39320, TRIX #22432) The Railstand HO-5208 with a long work area that is 35.8CM and can be used on biggest locomotives with a double gear driver transmission such as the DDA40X, BR V320 diesel locomotive (Marklin #39320, TRIX #22432).	Marklin 78151 的培林組受限於第三軌導不銹鋼鋼絲限制, 其有效工作區僅有 19.5公分長. 故若遇到如: BR V320, DDA40X... 等雙傳動輪組的柴電機車則無法使用. The Marklin 78151 is limited by the length of the stainless steel wire, his pairs of bearing brackets work area only 19.5CM. It can't test the BR V320, DDA40X locomotives... which has a double gear driver transmission locomotive.
更換螺絲後可被安置於木座內做為展式平台之用. Can be install into the wooden base with acrylic cover...	Marklin 突出的培林座無法被置入展示木座內. Out off the bearing sets can’t install into the wooden base.
可串聯以測試長列雙動力高速火車頭如: ICE, TGB high speed trains… Two Railstands can be connected together to test long wheelbase locomotives such as the ICE or TGB...	只有一邊有導電, 故無法串聯使用. 　 The Marklin design does not allow two roller test stands to be joined.
多功能培林組可被移動置於軌道線上做測試. The Railstand bearing brackets can be used directly on test track.	Marklin 培林組機構無此功能設計... Due to the limitations of the Marklin design, their bearing brackets cannot be used on test track.
可被融入安置於Marklin 和 TRIX 的 Layout 內使用, 並可兼具數位程式軌道的功能 (programming train). The Railstand roller test stand can be integrated into a test or programming track.	Marklin 因外露的培林座組故無法被置入 Layout內. Again, due to the limitations of the Marklin design, their bearing brackets cannot be easily integrated into a test track.
前後兩端軌道皆具有導電功能, 並可銜接擴充軌. The entire track length of the Railstand is powered.	前端軌道無導電功能也無法與擴充軌道銜接. Only a portion of the Marklin test stand is powered.

　機械結構之差異:

專利的培林組結構採用地心引力原理導電並提供最佳的絕緣及最好的導電效果和機動性. The patented design of the Railstand bearing bracket uses simple gravity for electrical contact. The design is sturdy and compact, with enough insulators between metal conductors.	必須鎖緊螺絲才會導電且培林架左右兩內側以貼膠帶做為培林架與座的絕緣體. The Marklin design requires complicated clamping for electrical contact and has an insulator design that is less rigid than the Railstand design.
獨特的活動式第三軌(AC)導電結構設計可得到最佳絕緣及導電, 也非常方便移動,且不受限制可延伸其培林組工作區域.. The unique active third rail (AC) conductive structure is very convenient for sliding, insulating and conductive, and can extend its working area without being restricted by the third rail.	Marklin 以固定的不銹鋼線做為第三軌(AC)導電介面, 因此培林架受限於不銹鋼線限制而只能在不銹鋼線框內移動. Marklin relying on the stanless steel wire as the third rail conductive , and therefore the bearing bracket is limited to the stanless steel wire and can only move within the stanless steel wire frame.
活動式的第三軌(AC)導電結構方便培林組移動, 也可以很容易隨時加入或減少培林組. The third AC track can up and down to conduct electricity and it's moveable.	測試培林組受限於固定式第三軌(AC)不易增加或減少培林組. The third track is fixed, bearing trolleys can not moveable.
提供多個組合軌可以依各型機車頭之需要而可隨時調整，並可以與前後端軌道銜接並皆具導電能力. The RailStand combined track sections of the Railstand can be positioned along different sections of the test stand and that are all powered.	擴充軌只能靠軌道本身聯結結構與尾端軌道銜接. The Marklin combined track is limited to a removable middle track section and a front track section that is not powered.
可隨時增減和移動的培林組.　 It is easy to add or remove bearing brackets in the Railstand design.	無法增加或減少培林組. With the third rail in place, adding or removing brackets is cumbersome in the Marklin design.
