Lutz:
I don't know who you are talking to, but you seem to ignore the fact that almost everyone outside Germany can get no satisfaction on this issue unless they deal directly themselves with Reparatur Service in Gõppingen. Jeff told me outright that he could get no information out of the factory and he suggested that I contact Service directly. I have to admit that I got instructions back from Reparatur Service to send the models in within 12 hours of my inquiry. That is excellent service...I only hope the physical service is as quick. As to contact through dealers, the dealer in Germany I contacted about this is one that knows me well (I have spent over 5000 Euros there over the past few years), and is in fact the dealer I bought the models from, and they could not help. I would rather have had the service done without the models traveling the Atlantic, but so be it. |

Geez here we go again !!!!!
I'll make this simple:
I brought a Dell lap-top.
I used the internet, chosen language English.
Could have ordered in almost any language so user-friendly are they.
I get updates and warnings about any issues as and when they occur and information on how to resolve these if necessary.
If I chose not to receive these warnings personally, I can log onto their web site to receive the same information
I will buy my pc from Dell as well.
____________________________________________________________________
Just like our cars, a quick check on the website will reveal any issues that need addressing.
____________________________________________________________________
I have had M* (with the tits above the a)
- As a child (my ERA I)
- With my children (my ERA II)
And given their previous reputation
- Now with my Partners children (my ERA III)
I wonder.
Why I cannot get the same service from M* via a (user-friendly) web site in English as well?
Why?
P**s poor management?
Arrogance?
Uncaring attitude towards the plebs who spend their money on M* products?

One might also say that those who are unaware about the inherent potential for future problems in their locos, will get them not fixed.
Like others, my locos cannot get a decent run as yet so future-proofing means that I have address this situation now.
I brought this loco from Europe.
I do not expect nor would I offend my local dealer asking him to take ownership of my warranty claim.
I will be at a MMR meet early next month so will be meeting up with our NZ M* agent.
I will be interested to see what he knows about this issue.
I would like to know that my locos are as good as can be.
I paid a lot of money for these, I expect quality.
Is anything less acceptable to anyone?

"And no - usually no car manufacturer or dealer will get back to you for an (even free) update/upgrade unless there is a serious safety issue."
That’s pure Bulls**t. As mentioned in my previous, a quick check on the website will reveal any issues that need addressing. Well that’s how it is in NZ.
But then we are simple people after all.

Quote from LUTZ
It is really amusing to see especially those "yelling and screaming" who don't even have any of the relevant models for this upgrade. LUTZ, If you are referring to me in that statement I resent that. I am not yelling and Screaming. YOU made a statement that in Germany that any dealer would handle a Warranty regardless of where the item was purchased as Long as you had a Warranty Certificate I was trying to point out that there is a different policy in other parts of the world outside of germany but you will not accept that. If trying to tell you that you are wrong is yelling and screaming you are sadly mistaken. N |

Macca Nev I see that the last bottle sent to you has been highly successful.
You are now fully authorised Yellers and Screamers and as such you are able to deal with any comments on the forum for two years after they have been posted.
With regard to waranties etc if they made the stuff properly in the first place then we would not have this thread. How can anybody stick a compact c sine in a loco and sell them without realising that they are poor runners ... at least now we have a decent motor which in my view should be fitted to all models now sold.
As for German quality that is now long gone ( I have a German car which i enjoy but it is no better than Swedish or Japanese.. just costs more)
Your promotion in the SSA is being considered.

I have a 39120 and it runs OK on my layout, but then I don't have any additional sections under booster control, only one sector controlled by a CS. I don't get any slowdowns or erratic running when switching solenoids, etc. The only 'funny' I experience with this loco is that it sounds its horn sometimes when power is restored to the layout, apart from that no problems, under my current setup. Do the erratic running problems show up when running with a 6021 and 6017 boosters? If so I can test the loco on our club layout to see how it performs. Please Lutz, be nice to people. It surely can't be too hard for you to provide clear concise responses to questions, rather than the cryptic answers you seem to take pleasure in giving. Not all of us have as easy access to Märklin people / knowledge as you do, so we would appreciate it if you would keep your answers simple, concise and to the point. Cheers, Mate!! BTW, thanks for your pictures Lutz, some great models you have there!

<br />Do the erratic running problems show up when running with a 6021 and 6017 boosters? If so I can test the loco on our club layout to see how it performs. I have two trains with interior lights (light bulbs). Switching the interior lights on and off while a loco is running at mid speed will show if the loco is voltage sensitive. If you use a speedometer, you can also test if the loco slows down when you turn on the front lights of several locos (preferably light bulbs). My Schienenbus slowed down when I turned lights and sound on - 'twas corrected in Göppingen and now speed is stable. So with a good speedometer you don't need much power consumption for the test. Testing with 6021 and 6017 will only work if one of them has heavy load while the other doesn't. Another test: look how the loco stops at a red signal with a brake module. Early CCS locos will slow down abruptly for a moment, then they return to their previous speed and slow down gently. With your 39120 it depends on when it was produced. I ordered mine in 2006, but it came 2007 after the 39121 - and they both run fine. |

I'll make this simple: Why don't you just use the EXISTING Märklin website for your language at maerklin.com like most to all other customers in Märklin's main selling countries do?  Dear Upstanding Stick in the MUD Lutz, I have used the www.MAERKLIN.com website, The USA Website in ENGLISH in certain parts End up in GERMAN. It is a Piece of Sh*t. The only information it gives on Dealers is the USA as it is a USA SITE. NOW ONCE AGAIN the M(") A (Thats 2 tits A) rklin site used to show all Marklin dealers around the world, Now thay do not. Simply arrogance. they do not care of their customers outside of Europe and speially GERMANY. Up ******. Now usually when yo feel like it you can give some good information, but your German attitude gets in the way a lot of times. Wake up and loosen up. |

Thanks for the suggestion re the 39120 whistle icon, Lutz. I'll try that out. Thanks Thomas for your suggestions as well, I'll try those out too.
Lutz, you may recall I asked you about converting the Trix TEE BR112 to 3 rail AC running. Well instead of buying the Trix loco, I managed to get the 29540 Tee Rheinpfeil set. I haven't used the loco from that set enough to know whether it has any issues, but I think it has the SDS motor. The 39120 is about 10 months old - brought from johnvandamme off ebay.
Hopefully they are both new enough to already have the updated circuit boards. There are some advantages in not being an early adopter!

THAT annoys the hell out of me. I don't remember seeing detailed information about this on maerklin.de either. This shows what the non-M* fora about M* are worth! It would be nice to have a list with the serial numbers of affected locos on the M* web site. But I presume they want to let sleeping dogs lie. The repair service has capacity problems - and things would be worse if more people knew about the replacements. Maybe we'll see some information when the first rush is over. |

This whole issue is being handled very quietly. If you complain to the repair service in Göppingen about it, you get it fixed. If you are happy with the performance (or don't know to expect better performance) nothing is said about it. Originally, I heard about this last year from Jeff at a show...he said then that Marklin USA would be equipped and authorized to do this work here, but apparently the factory decided against that. Anyway, my models are in transit. I will report on the outcome of this when I know more.
Added: Actually, the performance of my models wasn't that bad that I would have contacted service had I not known about this. Probably 95% of the people who have them and do not lurk on this site or a similar one would never have noticed. In that I try to run my layout [somewhat] prototypically (in spite of the few R1 curves I have) I could clearly see surges and inconsistencies at low speeds. If this layout was my Grandson's and he was running them, it would not have been noticable.

Ron You have it dead right. M will hope few will know they can get an upgrade and most will just carry on with a model which does not run as well as it could.
I wonder how many will try another make to see if it runs better than M. That would be a shame as Marklin can still produce top class stuff if they want to.

For a firm which almost went bust and is hoping to be saved it is important that they are on the ball with customer relations.
As you say John we now like to hear about a model before buying it but in the past we could buy with confidence knowing the product would be good. Hopefully these days can return but M must first see where it went wrong.

So what should I do with my HWZ? It runs fine, but you can clearly see the "speed compensation control" since there is some "bucking" that makes the coaches behind it act "accordeon"-like now and then... With a 5***** motor or Faulhaber/Maxxon DC motor this does not occur with the same coaches...
I mean, the loco works ok but has trouble keeping a constant speed with a train of coaches behind it. For an usual train player it's likely ok - you accept it, but for the esoteric perfectionist it is a nightmare...
For me it is "good enough" as it is, but if a free upgrade is available I would of course like to have that since it was quite an expensive item... Should I contact M and ask for it? |

I don't know about serial number, or version number (it is at my other house), but I know I have a two year warranty.
If a problem develops, I will take it back to Nathan's Trains in Brisbane (Marklin and Trix dealer) where I bought it, and I know it will be handled well by that means.
Or I may decide to send it directly to Goppingen. My experience with that Marklin service is excellent, when I exchanged two transformers about 18 months ago.
regards

Ron Try a HAG. You will not have any problems. Go for one with the 21 pin decoder. Compared with this years Insider Model they are cheap!! Take care though if you buy one you will want more.

John You must follow directives Ron If you want a HAG buy one they certainly wont need to update their motor. Juhan Pay attention your question was answered earlier Best behaviour lads. Having another celebration with Rangers winning the cup so thought I would post the above to get all the replies in one post. Has to be said though that for a toy firm to take back goods which dont works as well as they should ...but are still OK .. is somewhat unusual. The cost to M must be contributing to the losses having to pay wages for the repairs and the cost of new parts. Hopefully not too many will return these as there must have been quite a lot sold.

An outsider.
I'm looking for the owner of that horse. He's tall, blonde, he smokes a cigar, and he's a pig!
