Okey folks!
I did tested my locomotiv and it´s great machine! ThumpUp
Here is verified what i so far react about this model.
The cardboard is impressive and nice,but seems little to much for an locomotiv.
Inside there is an wooden box,which is totally waste.
But when i did open the wooden box,there was she!
It was already impressive to see her in the package.
When i did open the package,she did appears.
What an sight! Wub
The manual is okey,but there is some missing information.
There is no info about CV50 adress,which stands for to adjust value of analog AC,DC,MM and mfx protocol to derailment by program.
I was forcement go to Märklins homepage and click on the technology information to download decoders CV list.
Finally i did put locomotiv on the track and did start program first to find locomotiv and adress is standard at 3.
Writed name of the locomotiv.
Done!
Did started scroll up speed knob and she runs.
Test lighting on and that is impressive,but a little bit too much yellow brightness(should reduce flash of light).
Test sound on and holly smoke,what an impressive sounds!! ThumpUp
She is running excellent.
The decoder did standing first at 126 speed steps,but i see this to much so i did changed to 28 speed steps.
The details is fantastic and it´s already impressive to see finish color and details.
The only missing is locodriver and fireman.
Of course...smoke generator too is missing.
Märklin/Trix has done an nice work with this locomotiv. ThumpUp

I did forget to write about motor.
It´s "glockenanker motor".
I´m not sure if it´s Maxon or Faulhaber.

I did found out some strange structured with this locomotiv.
It has 4 traction tyres!
And wheels on the tender don´t have all contact on the track.
If i did had Märklin same model,all the wheels have contact on the track while pick up shoe on the stud contact.
Big difference...but why did Trix add four traction tyres on an DC locomotiv,i don´t get it!

The sound decoder is worse now.
I think mfx decoder is default now,because BR64 is working good,so there is no problems with the MS2.

I take back what i did wrote!!
Mfx are crap!!! Cursing
Just only total 2 hours of driving with the locomotive since i did bought it,mfx sounds doesn´t work it should.
I wish Märklin could produce analog locomotives with 21 pole schnittstelle,so i could choise ESU sound decoder instead.

Sure!
The sounds keeps on when i did shut the functions off.
Sounds dissapear when i did change the direction and start speed up.
Both steam and the squel brake is the problem.
I did reset the decoder and did happens before too.
It´s not helping anyway!
There is no faults with the MS2,so it´s decoder.
Never mind...i did learn the mistake,by shopping Trix and Märklins locomotive with the mfx decoder.
It´s not the locomotive,but instead mfx decoder which should be terminated for good. ThumpUp

Sounds like a faulty power pickup to me.

Anyways, you seem keen to blame the format, "mfx", but have you tried using DCC instead? The decoder supports it. I am sure that the problem will be the same, if it is the decoder that is faulty - or the power pickup is.

Have you also tried the loco with another digital system, or on a clean piece of track? Just to make sure that your track is not dirty.

Both mfx and DCC has been tested.
And no it´s not dirt on the track.
What another digital system?
I do have Märklin BR64 and it´s working without problem.
So it´s not MS2.
It´s mfx decoder in the bayern locomotive which are kaput!
