Please excuse me if this is old news: I see on marklin site that there are now decoder upgrades 60921 mfx-Hochleistungsantriebs-Set (€ 109 inc VAT/GST) 60922 mfx-Hochleistungselektronik (€ 89 inc VAT/GST) 60923 mfx-Hochleistungsantriebs-Set (€ 109 inc VAT/GST) 60924 mfx-Hochleistungsantriebs-Set (€ 109 inc VAT/GST) See http://www.maerklin.de/p...enkatalog.php?katalog=32 Three inlcude motor replacements - only one seems to be a chip only set. I paid my dealer A$240 to have an AE 3/6 delta converted to motorola digital with the Marklin chip set and engine replacement. €109 for mfx seems to be a fair price.. Any thoughts oe perhaps redirections to the correct posting? |

Adrian, http://www.suter-meggen....l/mfx_decoder/detail.htmMärklin asks almost twice the price for their mfx decoder that is said to be identical with the ESU device. Don`t know the spare part prices for an armature, a magnet and a motor shield. Might be there are some savings when ordering spare parts. Regards, Manfred

Yes.. It is certainly valid to compare the 60922 with these prices... I wonder how Markling would explain the difference? |

Adrian,
Checked another source just a few minutes later.
Maybe the price indicated for the ESU in the suter link is a bit too optimistic. A difference of 20Euros seems to be more realsitic.
But still some need for an explanation of the difference from the part of Märklin...
Regards,
Manfred

We'll see. I wonder. For a long time now it has been possible for Märklin to sell signals, decoders, relays, and other accessory for much higher prices than their equivalents. I guess they are satisfied with the 80 % (guess) of the market that don't know about any competitor, and don't know that ESU manufactures the decoders. /Lars

It would appear that the mfx sets will conform to the same applicability as the 6090x sets, just looking at the numbers. |
