Märklin has also published several books about his digital systems. I also have a lot on this topic on my website you can see it here. http://www.raildigital.es/davidruso/arqdigital/arqdigital.html is in Spanish but you can easily translate it with some online translator for example with this one Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator Best regards

But yours is not bad at all. Unfortunately I did not obtain my knowledges in Spainish after university. So nowadays it is very hard for myself to read Spanish text. But @biswasg is a Swiss guy - do we offer him a website from another swiss guy. https://stayathome.ch/ And he starts off with the basics all around a MRR (Grundlegendes rund um die Modelleisenbahn). There he will find everything about digital and even more for a MRR. And Swiss people are able to speak German as well.

Perhaps this document in French is a bit useful, although it is rather old: http://al1marklin.free.f...cuforum/Marklin_0308.pdf Correct, but don't you think, a well educated Swiss person shall speak more than 1 language? And indeed I saw at the Swiss TV, even people sitting in the Swiss parliamnet sometimes are not really fluent in German/and or Italian language, if they are originated from the French part of Switzerland. Romansh can be apologized, because of its quota at the total population. On the other hand it always is impressive, how many Swiss people are able to speak even 4 or 5 languages fluent.

		Take care I like Marklin and will defend the worlds greatest model rail manufacturer.

Joined: 31/12/2005(UTC) Posts: 234 Location: Geneva, Switzerland		Dear Antonio and Stefan, Many thanks for the links. I read Antonio’s summary which was very helpful. I am not Swiss but am here for work in an International Organization in Geneva. I speak English, but also a bit of French so will take time to read the French book. I did not find in the Markli catalogue any English version of a similar book! David, indeed Switzeralnd is a very beautiful country and in most touristic places, one can manage with English. Gautam

Gautam You should have told us before you are better in English than in French. There is a Märklin book in English available: Article No. 03092 - "Controlling Digitally with the Central Station 3" https://www.maerklin.de/...s/details/article/03092/ Märklin offers another book especially for "Gauge H0 - Article No. 03070 Book "Returning/Changing Over to Digital Model Railroading"" https://www.maerklin.de/...s/details/article/03070/ Unfortunately this book is only available in German. Here are 2 brochures from Märklin which you got and get buying a starter or start-up set and they are explaining Maerklin digital. (old version) The advantge: they are written in 4 or 5 different languages. BTW: I can recommend this translator software https://www.deepl.com/translator

For anyone starting the digital adventure now there is much better to find more recent information...
