I have a couple Marklin signals on my lay out I had a lot of trouble to programmed them in fact a dealer did it for me. So what other makes are out there and that you use. I would like to stay with the ones that have lights. Also on a box for marklin signals they have V2 sticker on them what is the difference between V2 and not V2.

The non V2 signals had a problem and M modified the design and then offered a free replacement service.
I have forgotten what the problem was. (seniors Moments)

Hi Charles. Viessmann make a range of similar signals which are cheaper than Marklin. They have what appears to be a new range with built in decoders but i have not as yet tried them.

The signals worked very fine with the first Märklin digital components: Control unit / Central unit and with the keyboards. Than Märklin announced the first Central Station with systems and than it appeared sometimes that the modern light signals didn't do there job for the whole time. Therefore Märklin replaced the signal electronic.
The signals with the sticker v2 work fine with the CS1 and CS2.

Hi Smile
I tried the new Viessmann range, which is described as "Multiplex" family. They are quite different from Märklin's models, but you cannot really talk about "built-in" decoders. In fact, the decoder is imbedded in a box, to which the signal is wired using a 4 pin connector. As opposed to M., the address is not encoded in the signal head but in the decoder (very easy to set, using a red button) : it means you can swap signal without recoding anything.

here is the decoder :

and the signal :

Hi Pierre,

I am so interested in this multiplexer gadget for light signals from Viessmann. What exactly does it do? How does it work?

Cheers,

There is also a Viessmann book available which covers their signal range. German only I suspect.

Could you tell me if the Viessmann 4043Ks signal would be suitable for stop and go were you have a loco that crosses the route of another loco. Also to use the same signal at the end of my platforms.

Yes - but then again you'll need a 5229 (multiplexer) from Viessmann to drive the signal, that's an additional € 31,16- (adds up to more than the M* signal as decoder is included).

It looks as if I am back to Marklin . The last time we tried to program them it was on the CS1 I now have a CS2 and I wonder if it is any simpler to do But I don't see how. As I have remarked in the past I ended up sending them back to the supplier to do for me I felt so embarrassed .[:(]

Hello all, this is my first post to the forum.

I bought the Viessmann multiplexer few months ago and very satisfied with the product. One unit of Viessmann 5229 Multiplexer can control 1 Home Signal and 1 Distant Signal.

Here are the photos I took few days ago. Hope you enjoy it Smile

Welcome to the forum, Leo!

Thank you for the illustration of the Viessmann 5229 multiplexer. So, it is possible to control two signals at a time, right?

Cheers,
Ranjit

No, not really - it can control 1 signal and it's distant signal. It can't control 2 main signals.

Fredrik is right. The 5229 can only controls one Home Signal at a time.

The 5229 needs only one command for the Home Signal and its Distant Signal.
e.g. Address 21 Red ---&gt; Home Signal HP0 --&gt; Distant Signal Ks2

It seems to me though that you can control only aspects of the signals, home and distant, ie. it doesn't cut the power on the track.
Then you have some form of "train control" that stops the loco depending on the signal aspect.

Nope...!
If you connect at "bremsen",you cut the power off!

Hello Leo,

Welcome to the forum.

Goofy, when you mention "bremsen" are you speaking of the braking module 72441 / 72442?

Viessmann do have a new signal decoder 52292,which you can connect 2 main signals.
