Some digital decoders can handle analog power, but not all. So to really answer the question we would need to determine what decoder is in every one of your locomotives. If the locos are Märklin, and nobody has changed the decoder, the chances that they will operate with analog power is high, but not certain. I am not sure what you mean by 11/5000 Are you referring to a Märklin model?

A first name would be great Attention, some digital decoders have been destroyed by reverse pulses coming from some Märklin transfos: - the old blue transfos generally labelled 220 V, when used on 240 VAC - a generation of decoders between 2000 and 2018 By all means, check that the reverse pulse voltage is not above 24 to 26 VAC Yes the new decoders are specified for max 40 V but better safe than sorry Cheers Jean

Grey transformers made for 230 V like the 66471 are safe for digital decoders in Märklin H0 locos.
