Hi, does anyone know which insider magazines had the articles on the marklin memory? I'm looking for more information on the memory other than what comes with the unit. Kent in Ca.

I recommend INSIDER N° 3 year 2001...(managing shadow station with Memory + also different ways to build block system - locking/unlocking logic)

You can find information about the 6043 Memory in the Märklin Magazines 5/1990 6/1990 1/1991 2/1996 3/1996 4/1996 5/1996 2/1998 and 3/2001.
You must bear in mind that there is a difference in the system made before 1995 and after. According to Märklin the system before 1995 was too difficult for their customers (?). In short: the old system worked with contact tracks and if a train loses a car the following train could not enter that track. The same with shadow stations: a train looked automatically for a free track. If there was not any the entering signal turned red. If there were free tracks in the shadow station the train chooses the first free track fully automatic. After 1995 Märklin prefers switch and reed contacts. F.i. when a train enters the shadow station it switches to the following track and sets that train in motion and that is repeated endlessly. In my opinion the old system was better. Find out yourselve!

The "new" system(after 1996) also worked with isolated sections of rails / contact track ( see 3/2001)
There are always several solutions, different ways......depending on how/where you install contact tracks.
With the "new" system we could choose between 2 modes. one using 16 independant inputs . another one using 8 locking inputs coupled with 8 delocking inputs... As long as a contact track stay occupied (no matter what is it , a car or a lok) the route going to it cannot be opened...
I only know the last version . I had fun with it.

Yes, It happens only when the station is full & all tracks are occupied. The memory automatically sets the train in motion to set one track free... I think we can manage many different ways , In Ex : considering the whole station as a single block of a block system, thus installing a suplementary contact tracks at the exit...whatever we do there is always a 1 manual action at least to start the system, it may be on a signal controlling the route to the shadow station, or signal + turnout.....

Roland,

Before I made my post I reread the 1996 articles in the Märklin Magazines. I only recently found out that Märklin had changed their system, that is after I bought the CS 2 and my lay out with (only) contact tracks began acting very strange when I connected eveything to the new CS 2. After some research Märklin themselves gave the solution: they had changed their system in 1995, but did not inform their customers, probably for commercial reasons. The MM's from 1996 give only examples with the Märklin switch tracks (no reeds!) and with Lauer and Uhlenbrock apparatus. Then I did not know why they wrote these articles, until now....
When you establish a lay out and it works perfect (and safe!) for more than 20 years with their own Märklin products then I have little respect for Märklin when they change an essential part of the Digital system without informing their own customers!
As I am busy now to find a proper solution for my lay out in combination with the CS 2 it feels like inventing the wheel.

This is some 'back ground' information.

Jan

BTW : I was talking about N° 3 in 2001 of MARKLIN INSIDER (foreign edition of club Marklin magazine) , not about MARKLIN-MAGAZINE which is a different review ( I'm wondering if there were Foreign edition of Marklin Magazine in 2001, I think not, I'm not sure)
