What exactly are you asking for? Do you want a locomotive converted? Do you want your controls changed over and don't know what to buy? Please provide a few more details.

Search Marklin certified service and repair dealers on the USA website. You can send it to one of them if you live too far away.
NY has a few for sure. One is on Long Island, One in N.J., Modellbahn Ott in Boyertown Pa. also. He posts his labor rates on his website. Rick Sinclair of the Digital club/Youtube webinars also does it, but he's in California. Email Marklinrepair.com to reach him.
If you want to upgrade to Led lights, and a 5 pole high efficiency motor for optimal speed control, it's a bit more involved than just retrofitting a digital decoder, but no more difficult.

I was looking for suggestions on where I could have the change over done. Marklinist5999 must be psychic as to what I was looking for. I don't know why the first part of my message didn't post.
I am new to this. I thank you for your input. Sorry for the goof up.

When starting a new topic, never put vital information into the description field only, as many will miss it.

It is a good idea to repeat information put into the subject (or the description) in the body of the message.

I don't see what got missed? The tite heading says which model, and issue. The first post is the subject.

The title just says Analog to Digital. The description does not get displayed and as Tom points out will be missed by many. You saw it, I didn't since I do not look at the title again after opening the topic.

When I look at a new thread the browser opens the first post, but the red bar with the thread heading is off the top of the screen, so anything put in the secondary field never appears on screen unless I scroll up. I don't do this very often on a new thread, so any information you put there is likely to be missed.

In another instance I replied to a thread where someone appeared to have started a new thread about the Message Wagons. It wasn't until some time later i realised he was wanting to buy one, but the total message was something like "As above" on the assumption people would realise it was in the "I want to buy" thread. I totally missed that as I read his posting from the "Recent Active Discussions" section which does put the forum thread as a byline but it is easily missed.

So do put all the relevant information in the message body. Your intent or meaning is likely to be missed otherwise.
