What wanted the Trix one for is, to swop loco bodies over with my Marklin 3 rail traxx models. Unfortunately the cost of convertion to two rail is to high as I would have to put two rail wheels on all my stock, and I would have to clean the track Apart from that I will just have to weight for a Marklin TGV Duplex

Unfortunately the cost of convertion to two rail is to high as I would have to put two rail wheels on all my stock, and I would have to clean the track With regards to the Märklin Hobby locos: They all have DC wheel sets. So conversion is really simple. Simply remove the pick up shoe and move one power pick-up wire on the main board. A wire bridges the gab between the two power pickups on the boggies, remove that wire and your model is a DC model. I did that with a Märklin BR 146.

Hi, I don't suppose you could put a picture up, of what you have done to the circuit board. Cheers Dan.
