Joined: 31/03/2011(UTC) Posts: 171 Location: Ireland		Good afternoon, I bought a Marklin Big Boy recently. I was told before I bought it that it was new and from a Marklin Mega Start set. I have looked on the internet and understand that the version should be Marklin 37990. However, When I check the owner's manual the decoders fitted to my locomotive do not match those in the manual. The decoder fitted to the tender of my locomotive has no dip switches fitted. My CS2 identifies only four functions and reads the digital address as 40. Could anyone please help me with information as to which version of Big Boy that I have. Looking forward to your replies. John

Copy and paste the link of 29848 manual in PDF. Quote: https://static.maerklin.de/media/9f/80/9f80f118800c8c8d616b1b7dc612b0631434542214.pdf

That may narrow the search down & is it black or weathered? #37990 = 4013 #37991 = 4012 #37992 = 4012 Weathered version #37993 = 4006 #37994 = 4019 #37995 = 4014 #37996 = 4020 #29848 = 4015 Starter set version https://static.maerklin....7dc612b0631434542214.pdf 29848_betrieb.pdf (1,626kb) downloaded 48 time(s).
