Can be retrofitted to all C-track switches with electric drive. Digital formats mfx, Motorola and DCC. Connection via plug contacts. Address 1 to 256 adjustable with coding switch. For the electric drive of the switches can be used simultaneously or subsequently a digital decoder. The decoder is simply connected with plug contacts and can be individually addressed for each switch (address 1 to 256). Tools or special knowledge are not required for installation. The digital power supply can be taken directly from the traction current contact of the switch. In this way, you get a ready-made digital switch, which is immediately ready for operation on mobile devices.
In 2009 Märklin celebrated its 150th anniversary. However, from an initially quite wide range of toys, the product range concentrated over time on the manufacture of electric railways in different gauges. The excellent quality of the products made the name Märklin synonymous with model railways worldwide. Even today, the material metal is an essential element in the manufacture of locomotives, which thereby gain additional value in addition to their proverbial reliability and performance.
Märklin H0: The majority of Märklin products are manufactured in this gauge on a scale of 1:87. Due to the high operational reliability of the Märklin H0 three-wire alternating current system, Märklin has contributed to making this gauge the most widely used in the world. All Märklin H0 locomotives have been digitally controllable as standard since 2000.
Märklin Z-gauge: Model railway enthusiasts do not only opt for Z-gauge on a scale of 1:220 when space is limited. In Europe Märklin is the only large-scale manufacturer of Z-gauge, which appeals not only to passionate layout builders but also to collectors.
