Questions about digital technology
All H0 locomotives, except the BRAWA basic variants, have standardised interfaces. They can therefore be upgraded easily using a commercially available decoder.
We support DCC, Motorola, and Selectrix.
DCC, Motorola, Selectrix are registered trademarks.
We use decoders from Doehler & Haass that are respectively tuned to our models.
The locomotive card, which is supplied with your digital model, is used to register the vehicle with the Märklin Central Station 2 and 3 (CS2 and CS3). At the moment it is only possible to read in the cards with these two central stations. All functions and information for the corresponding vehicle are already stored on this card. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to create the locomotive manually.
Attention: If you don’t use one of those two centrals, you have to import the vehicles and their functions manually. By default, the registration address of your vehicles is 03.
