This looks a nice item. I think it is only with the sound module that it becomes digital though.

I love the Brawa cable cars and have collected most of the older ones over the years.

They used to do a very nice funicular as well, and a container crane, oh and a traverser as well.
Now sadly long out of production.

Does anyone have the Brawa Trolleybus, previously made by Eheim. I wish they were still available for those modelling earlier eras.

I have most of the previous Brawa prodcuts.

Finicular Cable car
Trolleybus (2)
Skilift and a Cable car
Brawa water pumps (most of them leaked)
and many other items.

had a lot of signals and ruined most of them (connected them the wrong way)

Charles,

The Titlis Bahn is one of the more modern Brawa cable cars and not one I have.

However, I think it is the passenger platform within the gondolas that is supposed to rotate, rather than the whole gondola.

One possibility is that some Brawa items specifically need a DC power supply and others are happy with either.
As you are using an AC power supply can I suggest trying a DC one instead.

Best Regards
Ashley

Do you mean that the brown and red wired are feeding the circuit board module that is included with the Titlis -Bahn HO-6330 unit.
Are the lights on in the gondolas?

I am not able to help further because mine is still packed away in the box and would be a chore to get out.

In case you do not have the manual for the unit to refer back to, here is the link from the Brawa site.

Hello Charles
The power supply is AC 8 to 12 V. No DC allowed.
It seems that the same circuit powers the motor and lights the cabins so great care must be taken to avoid short circuits between the cable#1 and cable#2.
There seems to be sensors (switches) to provide a 5 sec. stop and then reverse when cabins arrive at the station.
I hope this helps
Cheers
Jean

Hi Charles,

I've only just joined the forum recently and must say I'm really impressed with the calibre of discussion and assistance.

I can comment on the Brawa Titlis Bahn and also the old 12-track Traverser table, I have both and am planning to install them in a layout I've just recently started to construct (track plan to follow - maybe posted elsewhere on the forum?)

I have also recently ordered from "sb Modellbau" the Faulhaber motors for both (and similar for the Fleischmann/ Maerklin turntable as well) and plan to convert out the old noisy motors and digitise them all.

Firstly, the gondola do have internal lights and the figurines revolve inside the cabins. The gondola itself does not rotate. I bought the unit second-hand and it was already wired up.

I'll have a sticky-beak at the unit (it's currently mounted on a test-frame) and let you know what I find out about how it operates. My presumption is that the motor in the gondola is powered the same way as the internal cabin lights receive their power (through the 2 insulated wires on which the cabins are suspended).

I would willingly receive any advice / tips/ traps for the inexperienced when the sb Modellbau motors arrive and I need to install them. There appears to be plenty of tips on converting the turntable but nothing on the cable cars or the old traverser... Can anyone point me to prior posts on the topic?

Oh, and by the way, has anyone digitised the Brawa traverser ... another "project for me"

Let me know if I can assist further with the cable car problem.

Al.

Hello Charles
There is a motor in each cabin to rotate the floor. Same power as the light inside.
They also warn that if the 2 cabins are not assigned to their right place, then they don't rotate (but they probably light up)..
Cabin marked "7" must be installed on the right side when facing the mountain while cabin "8" must be on the left side (see illustration 3, page 12).
Cheers
Jean

Thanks Marco.

I have heaps of questions and wonder where is best place to post a set of them...

I'm finally setting up a fairly large layout, both HO (Maerklin, Hag, Roco, Fleischmann, etc.) and HOm (Bemo) with a Swiss theme to incorporate a scratch-built 2-track scale version of the Langwiesser Viaduct my dad made back in the '70's (it's more than 2m long!). The layout will be a large "L" shape 13.5m x 8.5m with a couple of protrusions to walk around. I'm guessing a year or so before I can "play trains on it and quite a few years before it's landscaped.

I am digitising it and seem to have acquired digital bits from all and sundry suppliers. I also have iTrain for running with my Macs and iPhone (via Touchcab).

Clearly lots to do ... which is actually the whole point :-)

Have checked the order of the cars and it is as they say on page 12 of the insructions? Not sure were Ingo from here.

Charles.
