No longer at my Dads place and missing the train set build   Does anyone one know if there is any diff with the new release of this crane? Looks identical except for coming with an extra base piece.

Reply from Marklin:
"76500 included a separate steering system. 76501 is made to be connected directly to an digital steering system from Märklin. "
so can be controlled by the MS or CS I take it this means?
Nothing indicating if comes with the second/additional base plate or not.

Yes I would say so, if it is anything like my 76510 coaling crane. That can be controlled either by the Playstation type controller that came with the 76500 crane, or with a MS1/MS2/CS1/CS2/6021.

Don't forget that 76501 will take advantage of Marklin's "new" pricing. |

Basically, the 76510 has an address, just like any loco does, which you dial up and control the crane with, using the throttle knobs and function buttons. I would assume that the 76501 is similar. There is also an entry for 76510 in the CS1/CS2 databases, and also for 76500. Edited by user 12 March 2011 22:29:47(UTC)

You stated already in your entry posting that you knew this; furthermore it's even indicated in the product description. Märklin's "new" pricing for this model doubtless means: costs less than the predecessor and provides better value.

Again, your entry posting clearly indicated that you had already read and apparently understood the product description which barely leaves any open question for that part: "There is also a second base plate included for extending the crane's running rails. Power supply comes through the base plate." and "Base plate dimensions for each base plate 360 x 360 mm / 14-3/16" x 14-3/16" PS: It might be worthwile to see you complete inquiry to Märklin and their complete response.

I must be missing something here. MSRP for 76510 might be cheaper, but "new pricing" means that any advantage is negated. For end-buyers, price of 76510 is not any cheaper vs 76500. In some cases, 76500 can actually be found cheaper (if stock is available). A few differences in packaging between 76500 vs 76510 as discussed above. Extra base plate for 76510 vs an extra controller for 76500. Better value? Depends on each buyer's preference whether one worth more than the other. |

I have a Marklin Crane 76500 but not the remote. Does anyone know how I could obtain one? The item is discontinued. Thanks
