Can you post an image of the top of the loco? The screw should be black and be of the 'flat' type. Likely in the middle of a steam dome, not in the chimney.

You have to gently remove the hatch/lid with a screwdriver and they will pop off, revealing a screw on each side. Richard

Since you are so knowledgeable, can you please help me to find information on how to convert an analog system to a digital one? Thank you. It has a DCM motor, so it can be upgraded with the 60760 set (motor parts + decoder) or 60941 (motor parts) and a decoder of your choice (Märklin or other brand). 60760 is cheaper, but the decoder included is very simple and doesn’t speak mfx. On the other hand the loco is also simple and has no extra functions, and you can program the decoder with a Mobile Station. If you choose 60941 you need to add a decoder. A safe choice is an mfx decoder, but ESU Lokpilot M4 has the same capability. Other decoder from ESU can also be used, they all offer DCC protocol, but make sure you have MM protocol as well for backwards compatibility. Installing the digital upgrade requires basic skills in soldering. Unlike some locos where you just plug the decoder in, these locos are not prepared for digital upgrade.

Joined: 25/07/2001(UTC) Posts: 11,165		I have made a conversion of a "3504" many years ago (from the 2666 set) to 6090, if I remember correctly I ripped everything out and replaced it... I'll try to find it in the storage location and take a pic of how it looked inside after my conversion... Can take a few days... One thing I immediately recall is that I had problems with the 6090-set motor cover, I had to turn it upside down - otherwise it shorted towards the metal loco body. The German conversion video shows a conversion good too, but I think that's a 3304...

Please see 3704 Telex and LED lighting upgrade I hope forum members will find it useful. Edited by user 02 January 2025 00:00:01(UTC) \| Reason: Link corrected 02-01-2025
