Hi Dan,

No, the Märklin 60760 motor/decoder set will not fit, the motor uses the 60943 SFCM upgrade kit with decoder sold separately.

Cheers,
Gordon

Hi Gordon,

I have several SFCM powered loks and I have wondered how they run with the upgrade kit and a new decoder.

Do you have any experience with how that upgrade turns out?

Jim
I have almost all Märklin and mostly HO, although I do have a small number of Z gauge trains!
So many trains and so little time.

Hi,

In my experience it has been definitely worthwhile, especially with the heavier sfcm locomotives. After conversion they run smoother and quieter and have much better slow speed performance particularly with the mLD and Lokpilot decoders. I have found this to be the case with the other types as well (DCM & LFCM).

Cheers,
Gordon

Thanks Gordon, that is good to know. More jobs for my list! Cool

Hey Bob - it's been a while. I have done a couple of DCM 5 pole upgrades with Marklin decoders and one with an ESU decoder. Nice to know that the SFCM upgrade works well and I am becoming a big fan of the ESU decoders, which you recommended to me a while ago.

I have also found that doing the upgrades is a lot of fun and let's me bring my older loks up to modern performance levels - a win/win! I still have a lot to learn but I am making progress.
Regards,
Jim

Hi!

A bit off topic: the leading 5 of class 515 indicates it is an accumulator-powered electric rail car - no diesel.

Correct. This triebwagen started as Br ETA 150. As a triebwagen nut, I have considered buying a 3076, but Marklin never did an era 3 version. When released in 1970, it had the class number 515 between the windows near the cab.

Era 3
DB lokos, coaches and freight cars from across Europe
But I do have the obligatory (six) SBB Krocs
ECoS 50200, all FX and MFX decoders replaced with ESU V4s, operated in DCC-RailCom+ with ABC brake control.
With the exception of the passenger wagens with Marklin current conducting couplers, all close couplers have been replaced with Roco 40397.
