I was just wondering if anybody has had any luck in tracing down replacement frames #35 part number E321289 Seetal Link I was just hoping somebody out there has come up with a method to replace this frame using another material albeit 3D printing. I have two frame needing replacement sadly . Looking forward to your input.

So far, there were at least 4 different models of the De 6/6 (37521, 37522, 37524, 37526), so hopefully at least one of them had metal that was not affected. It is possible that Maerklin had the parts in stock for repairs but not as spare parts for sale. You could also try getting in touch with Maerklin's Swiss Service Centre: http://www.maerklin.ch/de/service/repservice.html Regards Mike C

Now the second problem: the plastic gears in these also crumble. Not a good situation. I sold mine off as I didn't have the heart to deal with it anymore. I'd be curious as well to hear if the newer ones are "safe", as they really were two of my favorite locomotives...

She has a friend employed in the Marklin factory. I thought a little insider help would end all my woes only to find they truly don't have this item available at all & the pair of them really did try hard for me. Maybe the Swiss option is the way to go. Hello John,these two locos are also my two favourites & it pains me to see them just sitting there in that diseased state.

The first time, it attacked the frame. I had to send it to the Märklin factory in Goppingen, pay for postage there and back and also for the repair (replacement of the frame), as this happened during the Pluta years when they did not have any money for warranties. The second time around, this year, I noticed that my 37521 would not move. After further investigation, it turned out that some of the gears were in the process of becoming disintegrated. And there is no replacement for all of them. My recommendation is that you work with your dealer or with Märklin Service and see if they can offer some sort of solution, which is what I did. However, the most recent Seetal croc, which is supposed to be free of problems, is already sold out at the factory.
		Best regards, Armando García

Kiwi Alan I will try your suggestion next. Armando I will check the gears on both of my unit to see if they too have been plagued with the disease. Thanks to all for your responses. Too all the forum members & Johan, have a very merry Christmas.

Joined: 08/03/2006(UTC) Posts: 1,026 Location: Gold Coast, Australia.		Armando you are right. Both gears "small plastic gears" that drive all the other gears from the worm shaft have split apart at one end on both bogies. I suppose now I have to purchase the whole shaft assembly #51 minus the brass bearings. Hope it includes the small splined gear which is the one that has split. https://www.maerklin.de/service/...&artikelnummer=37521 E307117 Schneckenrad / Welle 3 Stück 6,00 € VPE: 3 I was wondering if : https://www.maerklin.de/service/...&artikelnummer=37526 Item 25 E248862 Getriebekasten @ 15,00 € is the same as that of Marklin #37521. Here they sell it complete? Edited by user 22 December 2017 04:46:29(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified
