hello everyone,
adding to my very small collection of mearklin items, can anyone tell me about the set 26834 Walhalla set?
it says it is mfx fitted - what does that mean in this particular set?
many thanks once again to everyone who has helped me so far, and kind regards to all.

Hi DB ICE3,
The fact that mfx is fitted in this Glaskasten only means the loco automatically registers with the controller (Mobile Station, Central Station or ECOS). I am afraid that's all in this case. And in fact, it is all mfx does, it does not say anything about additional functionality.
Kind regards, |
Sander

Kind regards, hi there and many thanks for replying! im happy that it can register itself to my central station! - thats already to me very clever! i just love the little tiny green loco - its very cute and has been added to my future projects - id very much like to fit if possible a sound decoder to it ( and lights if it doesnt have any ) and lighting to the passenger cars too - a nice soflt yellow glow in keeping with the era!. thankyou once again for taking the time to respond.

I think you will find it has lights on the loco, the very first versions had lights, but in keeping with what they would have been like on the prototype, they are not very bright. The coaches may also have lights and could be fed from the loco, as were the coaches that were provided for the original Glaskasten model.

Hi DB ICE,
I have the set and can confirm the loco has two lights which change with the direction it is going. The loco automatically registers with the controller, in my cas a CS2. I donot think it is possible to fit sound in the loco due to its size. Regards Rob

and roco i see offer the dcc 2 rail version already sound equipped! - is there a conversion kit allowing this to run on the marklin digital system - im sure it could be done - but an easy to fit conversion kit would make this model very appealing to me! 277 uk pounds including 3 coaches. roco glaskasten with sound from factory
