You wouldn't have manuals for either 3000 (I have 1000.1 version) or 3005 since I am missing these ones?
Apologies,
Mark.
Hi Mark,
no problem. Unfortunately I do not have the 3000 BR 89, although I always wanted one. Maerklin has it still in its official program, but now with the art #30.000 and only with the fx decoder. So no mfx nor mfx+ is available. The fx decoder is the MM decoder and has very limited functions and is not bidirectional. So you have to program the loco manually into your controller board like a MS 2 or a CS 2. With an mfx this will be done automatically.
I only do have the 3002 – see here
3002 BR E 63 ebayBut for your information, have a look at ebay here (if you want to buy another one?)
3000 BR 89 ebayAnd here you find the actual model at Maerklins homepage:
30000 BR 89 MaerklinIf you go to "order spare parts" on Maerklins page, the next page will be opened (unfortunately only in German). But you see two words in red colour.
The first is "Explosionszeichnung" - it means under this button you find the explosion drawing of the BR 89.
The second button is “Betriebsanleitung”. Under this button you find the actual manual for this article.
But a question to you as an Englishman: In German this loco is called a "Tenderlokomotive". Maerklin translated it into a "tank locomotive". But a tank for me is not running on tracks. It is a weapon, running on tank treads. And the loco I would translate as a tender locomotive. What is correct?
But here you find the explosion drawing of the old BR 89 with the art #3000
(note: this is the analogue model - no decoder inside)
explosion drawing BR 89 #3000 by MaerklinFinally here you get all the information about the old BR 89 Maerklin art# 3000, including reports to rebuild them to a digital model, if you want to do it. And the various models are listed with their fleet number. So can define exactly, which model you got, even it is written in German unfortunately.
BR 89 Maerklin 3000 analogue modelBut when you scroll down the page (almost to the end), there is a section “Unterlagen” (= documentation) you see the button “Download”. Beneath you find a copy of the old explosion drawing and manual of the old 3000. I think, that is what you are looking for.

Wolfgang
P.S.: Here is the link to the German Homepage "maerklin-sammler-infos.de"
Maerklin collectors infoAlthough the pages are in German, it might be of general interest, because these pages use a lot of numbers, technical informations, pictures and obtains a lot of links to PDF files with information about old locomotives and some reports for rebuilding a loco to a digital one and the spare part list for the needed parts for this conversion.
