This is my first post to the Net so my apologies if this is not the right forum. i am new to Z scale and Maerklin and have just bought the freight starter set. My query relates to the accessories output of the 67013 controller - I can't find the electrical details of this output anywhere so far.

Specifically I need this info to see if it would be safe to use this as the power source for an auto-reverse control module from BLOCK signalling Simple Shuttle SS1 - it needs to be 'smooth and stable' according to the BLOCK website. The system is analogue (DC).

I would be most grateful for any guidance.

Many thanks Mike

Hi Mike
A warm welcome to this great forum.
Here, Märklin HO big fan from France.
If you are interested, here is a glimpse of my layout https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZxRIKIpzpY
Here is the 67013 users manual https://static.maerklin....f2c31ef9131639639515.pdf
Indeed they don't say much about the output except it is a switched power supply delivering 12 V rectified (I believe it is not pure DC.
Your BLOCKsignalling Simple Shuttle requires a 12 VDC and it is likely, there is a power filtering included (Not sure, here).
Worst case, you may add a high value capacitor (25 V 560 micro F or more) to obtain pure DC. Better check with a multimeter the voltage before connecting your BLOCKsignalling Simple Shuttle
Cheers
Jean
