Hello all, I'm planning to initiate a project, and after a few searches, I got no specific answer. I intend to buy a 66285 from Roco with tail lights, white to the front and blinking red to the rear. The wagon is designed for dc operation, but i have a Marklin Layout, so if i change the wheelsets the tailights will not work anymore. My question is, what do I need (apart the ac wheelsets and pickup shoe) to convert the wagon to ac operation? My main problem is the wiring, I assume it is not very complicated, and in reality we are talking about 2 wires, one from the pickupshoe, and another one from the ac axles. The rest is worse, because i don't know if i have to do some circuitry changes. For your reference I attach the instructions manual of the wagon.  66285-920_12784.pdf (88kb) downloaded 51 time(s).Can anyone help? Thank you! Miguel

Is your Märklin layout analog or digital? |

I have converted a Roco 76406 (identical to 66285) to AC. It is working fine after the modification that i have done to it. Photos for showing the work.     Thank you! Miguel
