Dear All,

I have recently started with train modelling and purchased Marklin 29183 H0 pack.

While playing with it got few basic queries , can someone please clarify below doubts

1. How does Engine gets the electricity from , I know it's from track which is connected to a receiver. I need more detailed answer from technical point of view

2. I have a remote with 4 different levels in it , does it mean I can buy 3 more locomotive and control them with single remote ?

3. How exactly this remote controls works ?

I'm a mechanical engineer , don't know much about electrical / electronics but would love to read and explore more.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
Vikram

Look up the older "Delta" protocol, as that's essentially the same as the IR remotes.

There are four specific addresses used by these controllers, if you buy any older locos with the DIP switches on the decoder to set the address then you'll need a table of address settings (and which addresses your locos need to have in order for the controller to operate them). You can operate both Delta and Digital locos.

Some older locos have a hard-wired address, you may or may not encounter them depending on where your interests lie. If you want models of locos from the '70s and '80s you often end up buying models from that era.

I'm not sure how you go about programming the newer decoders to work with this controller, but I'd imagine there's something in the manual explaining how to change the address.
