Hi All,

I have discovered that the f3 function is available on the decoder delivered in the 60760 refit kit. If the protective foil is removed, it is possible to get f3 function on pin 8 (the pin right next to the yellow wire). See picture attached - it is the pin where I have soldered a resistor on.

I cannot see any function of any other pins. Anybody know if the f1 and f2 pins are also somehow available?

With best regards,

Rasmus.

Nice tip thanks Rasmus and Sander

looks like f1 is across the board from the Gray wire.

Ramus, I also see you attached a red led to the lamp. what did you use to attach it?

Hi All,

First of all, thanks for link to info, that was exactly what I needed! Luckily, my German is quite OK (thank you, teacher in primary school )

And then for the other comments: About the LED: I attach the LED using normal "super glue" (see below). Normally, I put it on something else than the light bulb, so that I do not need to remake the whole thing when I replace the bulb. I have refurbished around 7 locomotives now, and I have found some good tricks. Especially the GM engines (DSB MY, Märklin 3067 etc) are quite good now. I really like the red light in the rear direction - it is giving a very beautiful glow when the locomotive is driving especially in darkness. One comment about the LED: It is important to select a high power LED, and then to ensure the light is directed towards the light guide. Normally, I cut the LED diagonally so the light is dispersed in more directions than just front direction - see picture below. If the light is not dispersed from the LED, usually the light is not bright enough in the outside of the locomotive. Also, always remember to serially connect a 1 kOhm resistor to the LED, otherwise, it will immediately be destroyed.

Then about the f3 function: Yes, it can be used directly, I use it to drive a blue LED that illuminates the interior of the locomotive (via a 1 kOhm resistor). Blue is maybe not really the color used in real locomotives, but the blue light gives an exceptional experience in the model landscape, and it is really adding some magic to the whole show. And the kids love it, especially at christmas...

see you,

Rasmus.
