Joined: 28/01/2019(UTC) Posts: 27 Location: Nizhegorodskaya oblast', Nizhniy Novgorod		Good afternoon. I recently bought my first Märklin H0 29721 Digital-Startpackung Güterverkehr. Perhaps you can tell me the answer to my problem. When I start a locomotive, it sometimes stops at low speed. It seems that the signal is lost stop burning running lights of the locomotive and it just stops. I didn't find any pattern. Pulled the locomotive back, but at the same place the signal disappeared again. Disconnected a rail on which the locomotive stops and established it in other place - its locomotive passed normally without stops. As I said, at high speed the locomotive goes non-stop. There is no such problem on an analog locomotive. Digital only. Have you heard of such problems? If you can tell me-I would be very grateful. Where to find the problem? Thanks.

If your starting set is new, you could need: - cleaning the rails (they may be covered with oily residue from manufacturing. One possibility is to use contact spray on a little rug that you wipe on rails -inspect the loco and its slider (must be protruding by 2 mm below the rail surface - be patient and let the train "run-in" so that all contacts are settled Bonne chance Jean

I will try to wipe all the same rails and wheels of the locomotive and slider (before did not do it). Then I will unsubscribe by result.

(to read resistance or conductivity between two points, when you touch the leads together, you get a beep sound, or an ohm read-out) If so, disconnect the track box from the track. Then go and measure conductivity between some known good location near the area and that area where the locomotive stops: 1) Between a rail and the same side rail in the area where it stops. 2) on the center contact puko in the area before the trains stops and in where it stops. If in both cases, you read conductivity, then the track is not the problem. If you get no conductivity then you have a problem in the physical electrical connections that snap together the track. It may be a bent contact.

The voice in the background at that moment did not touch anything. I correctly understood that point contacts in the middle of the track can be pulled up? And yet, at the time of the train’s passage, does he have contact with only one point? I think that if there is contact with several points, then even if one does not reach, then others must have contact. I will check one more thing tonight: it seems to me that the analog locomotive does not stop at low speed. I will check and write the result.

This is correct; but the puko's all sit on the same metal bar, so not only one can be pushed down; it will usually be "some". You will see it when you study the track from the back side. I don't think it's bad connection from track to next track, in that case it would be a longer distance giving you problems. Per.

If you have cleared tracks and the top of pucos then next you should Carefully clean the wheel shafts with an electronic cleaner. I have many quite old AC-locos converted to digital and when I have had problem like yours I have just cleaned shafts and wheels and after that loco will go smoothly. Regards Jukka

Disagree with you. On video it is badly visible, but where the locomotive goes at low speed, it is visible that when I move aside the locomotive and I release it stops in one place and position of wheels always different. When I move the locomotive, the wheels don't move. Part of the wheels of course, I wiped and that was not helpful. But today I'll try again. Thanks.

Joined: 01/02/2004(UTC) Posts: 6,736 Location: Scotland		Really need to check if it is the loco or the track.. If you can get another loco and it runs OK then it is the loco that is a fault. If other locos have the same problem then it follows it is the track. As you only have a start set then I expect you do not have other locos or track parts which when changed would show where the problem is. However any Marklin start set should work without the problem you have. Do you have anybody near you if a C track layout where you can run your loco.

There are no such problems with them. All go and at low speed and at high speed. I think that the problem is either in the locomotive or in the control panel. I have no other digital locomotive. For some reason, such railways are not widely spread in Russia, especially in my city of Nizhny Novgorod. I have 2 friends, but these are railways of the 90s of release. They are analog. In general, in general, I think, it is clear that further troubleshooting will not progress without another digital locomotive. Dead end. But anyway, thanks to all!

Hi Denis Looks like the track is OK. I dont know if you have a Marklin dealer who could check the loco for you. I presume you have reset the decoder and ensure it is clean etc. As you say another digital loco if it runs OK would confirm a fault with your loco. Could you send the loco to somebody who has Marklin (probably need to post it) and see if it works on their layout. Dont give up.

Maybe not in the subject, but tell me, I can not configure the remote control from the starter kit 29721 for the Marklin 3097 BR 03 locomotive. It is not in the base of the console. Now when turned on, it just goes backwards. Can I customize it?

From E516520 suppress inductor (Entstördrossel) you probabely need 2 of them. See here at a picture by our MUN member @dickinsonj from his update of his 30 year old 103 with an mSD/3 decoder. Thank you! I will order and try. The result will write to you what happened. Thank you!

The 60982 is also usable, but this is only a loco decoder without sound. Good afternoon. I can't. When you turn on the sound is as if a short circuit. What's wrong?

You got enough space for all decoders in the tender behind the loco. Is the loco running with your new decoder? Do you have sometimes sound or does the loco nothing at all? Unfortunately you provide us not very much with information. But nobody knows here what actually you have done, if you do not document it here. An advice is then impossible. If you are writing better in German than in English send me a PM in German please. But please do pictures and not a video. pictures are more precise than a video. I do not think that the motor and/or decoder is not suitable for your loco. I guess more, you did not take enough attention about the connecting and soldered points between decoder and engine. Did you download the manual at Märklin's website and follow all their instructions? https://static.maerklin....8605e6b79e1515411323.pdf Also did you find the conversion instructions for the loco 3085? http://www.maerklin-samm...omotiven/03085/03085.htm It is another article number, but the conversion work for the loco is the same. So you can use it for your purpose, even they used an ESU decoder, but for the differences to the Märklin decoder you got the Märklin decoder manual. Best Regards Wolfgang

As you only have a start set then I expect you do not have other locos or track parts which when changed would show where the problem is. However any Marklin start set should work without the problem you have. Do you have anybody near you if a C track layout where you can run your loco. Hello David! I have 3 analog locomotives. There are no such problems with them. All go and at low speed and at high speed. I think that the problem is either in the locomotive or in the control panel. I have no other digital locomotive. For some reason, such railways are not widely spread in Russia, especially in my city of Nizhny Novgorod. I have 2 friends, but these are railways of the 90s of release. They are analog. In general, in general, I think, it is clear that further troubleshooting will not progress without another digital locomotive. Dead end. But anyway, thanks to all! Hi Denis Looks like the track is OK. I dont know if you have a Marklin dealer who could check the loco for you. I presume you have reset the decoder and ensure it is clean etc. As you say another digital loco if it runs OK would confirm a fault with your loco. Could you send the loco to somebody who has Marklin (probably need to post it) and see if it works on their layout. Dont give up. Good afternoon. Now that I have 2 digital locomotives, I can say that only the locomotive in the 29721 set is having difficulty moving. Other locomotives are ideal for driving at low speeds. it turns out the problem is in the locomotive kit 29721. Order another decoder 60985? :(

Order another decoder 60985? :( Well, the 29721 is your digital starter set and it is a nice and good one, even with the loco inside. It is a BR 94.5 with the name BR 094 713 DB. This is important, because it came with an mfx decoder already. Others in starter sets sometimes have only fx (= MM2) decoders. So I do not think to change its decoder inside. Although this loco has a HLA motor inside. This is a good (but for these days meanwhile by Märklin a standard equipped) locomotive. Do you think it is not running well? What is your loco doing? Which one is your other loco and this has an new mSD/3 decoder inside? What does the other digital loco better? I have to confess, I also have a variety of different locos with mfx decoders inside and there are differences in running as well. But I would not say one of them is running badly or behave strange. I will say that there are some locos meanwhile are running extraordinaryly good. Like my BR 65 Insider or my Insider shunting Crocodile. Gosh, they are really extremly good, smooth and sensitive running locos. Can it be that you are comparing a very good running loco with an only good running loco and think it is not good enough? Well, yes than you might change to an Glockenanker motor https://www.sb-modellbau.com/ https://www.stayathome.ch/motoren.htm and a mSD/3 decoder. Cost a lot of money and might have a better running condition as well. But this money I would invest in another new digital loco.
