As Allen said, any British coaches to go with Flying Scotsman. Even if we have to weight until next year for them. A photo will do of a rake of Pullman or MK1 coaches would do 😋 I’ve got to be honest though, if they don’t I might well cancel my order.? As it just looks odd without!!! |

It was reported a few weeks ago that there will be a BLS Re 475 in the new alpinist livery. The model will be another one with the new Vectron chassis and shell. The original model was a Hobby lok with less details. This will either be a Summer of Fall New Item for 2023. This tidbit was revealed by scanning the library on digital controllers.

On Märklin FB it is easy to recognize the Re 475 BLS as a summer novelty.

The summer news are really bad! The steam model 78 1002...did Märklin fix the slippery problems?? Even new steam model BR 038 do have same problem. Other models are not to cheer about.  |

So is it really epoch the 2000s with the SCHENKER trailer when AAE started in 1989, feels really fishy and hokus pokus combination  Many collaborations with Piko provide an interesting future in terms of price differences  Edited by user 10 May 2023 19:54:52(UTC)

ESU do the same essentially, you need a decoder tester to connect to the programmer - but that is for any decoder including a wired or 8 pin one. Personally I wouldn't try loading a sound file to a decoder through the track, that is asking for trouble, using a direct connection is much wiser.

Personally I wouldn't try loading a sound file to a decoder through the track, that is asking for trouble, using a direct connection is much wiser. actually thinking about it, it might be that it is possible to wire up a PLUX21 decoder plate, into the 60971 wire interface. but having a 60970 decoder tester is also useful. regarding sound programming on track with a cs3/2, that is a method that I personally find to work fine even if it's very slow, but there are of course some risks. just make sure that the locomotive has good contact and leave it alone during programming. have done around 30 full projects with sounds that way. and I have not bricked one decoder (yet?). However, there are some built-in fail-safes and if something is interrupted the CS3 automatically restores the original project with the original sounds (this probably also has its limits). That has happened twice to me, and on both occasions, the programming worked fine on the 2nd attempt. And decoder firmware updates also have some risks, when done on the programming track........

I am not going to purchase anything from these announcements to keep inside budget, but I like the LGB steamer, the
new Ep. V and VI wagons, the Alpinist and the Electric/Diesel Vectrons.

I'd expect to plug it into a loco and program it with my CS2. If Märklin cannot confirm going this route, then this Plux22 decoder will not be an option for me. It could fit into many Piko locos - and Piko is Märklin's new friend. Will we now see locos "in coorporation with Piko" with that new decoder? |

I don't have anu issues to programmed decoder inside loco if it only has the latest fwd and the right project type with CS3. Yes its take time, but who doesn't have time for that with this hobby? Interesting that they understand the need to technically upgrade the Vectron loco |

Tom, you can program the mSD3 decoders with a CS2/CS3 using the Marklin MDT software, but it is quite a bit slower than using the Decoder programmer.
Still it's useful to have the capability if you need to program a decoder that's in a loco and not easy to remove. Just make sure your CS2 is at a version that supports this otherwise you could brick the decoder.
If you did brick a decoder that way it is possible to recover it by upgrading the decoders firmware using the decoder programmer -speaking from experience.

There is no manual yet for the new 60996 decoder. Product database reads: "A 60970 Märklin Decoder Tester is required for the programming." Is it a technical regression or is the review for the description still pending? The line "Kissed awake Finally digital" looks somewhat incomplete. Maybe we should wait for the manual. |

About the decoder, while we wait for the manual, here are my thoughts:
1- Probably there will be a new Decoder Programmer that will handle this decoder and in a later future there will be no need to use the Decoder Tester;
2- It probably can still be firmware upgraded and configured in the track with the CS2/3 and the Decoder Tool.
A question: Do you think Märklin will start to use in their H0 locomotives the Plux22?

More functions with Plux22, they need RailCom for Trix anyway, cheaper to have the same socket for Trix and Märklin. 21MTC is a mess since the NEM specification is not compatible with the NMRA specification, putting decoder and/or loco board at risk in some cases. |

But hopefully, we will see an MTC decoder with more Aux out, possibly with an option for sensors/motor3 or aux??? perhaps in the msd4 when they release that sometime in the future ;) the new Plux22 decoder has at least two more Aux outputs. The information in the Trix new brochure says two, but the blank Plux21 decoder template indicates 3 (in mDecooderTool). The motor outputs can be set as Aux 8 and 9. There is also one sensor option, in mDecooderTool, and aux 7 is also selectable. That gives the option of 10 or 11 total aux outputs if used as a pure function decoder. One interesting thing is that the Plux22 decoder has the soft sine motor option, but no option for AUX at logic level? so it will be interesting to see the specifications when they release the manual and how the Aux outputs are configured and if some are at logic level.

I think you will find the Plux22 connector will get used in Minitrix items. I haven't looked at the decoder tool software, but am surprised the Plux22 has soft sine option - maybe there is currently no way for the software to distinguish which decoder it has connected. Also note that there is an option on the existing mld/3 and msd/3 to use the motor pins as aux outputs when using it as an effects decoder in a wagon or other use other than a loco.

The 21MTC socket they are using now should not be used for new developments since about 2009, so maybe it is time for a new socket. More functions with Plux22, they need RailCom for Trix anyway, cheaper to have the same socket for Trix and Märklin. 21MTC is a mess since the NEM specification is not compatible with the NMRA specification, putting decoder and/or loco board at risk in some cases. Only Marklin can answer that, but after all, it's called MTC21 and is short for Marklin Trix Connector (made by ESU for Märklin and Trix).... and if I remember correctly the NEM specification was decided at a later stage, so I would be surprised if they change it. But hopefully, we will see an MTC decoder with more Aux out, possibly with an option for sensors/motor3 or aux??? perhaps in the msd4 when they release that sometime in the future ;) the new Plux22 decoder has at least two more Aux outputs. The information in the Trix new brochure says two, but the blank Plux21 decoder template indicates 3 (in mDecooderTool). The motor outputs can be set as Aux 8 and 9. There is also one sensor option, in mDecooderTool, and aux 7 is also selectable. That gives the option of 10 or 11 total aux outputs if used as a pure function decoder. One interesting thing is that the Plux22 decoder has the soft sine motor option, but no option for AUX at logic level? so it will be interesting to see the specifications when they release the manual and how the Aux outputs are configured and if some are at logic level. I think you will find the Plux22 connector will get used in Minitrix items. I haven't looked at the decoder tool software, but am surprised the Plux22 has soft sine option - maybe there is currently no way for the software to distinguish which decoder it has connected. Also note that there is an option on the existing mld/3 and msd/3 to use the motor pins as aux outputs when using it as an effects decoder in a wagon or other use other than a loco. the Plux22 decoder is marked as an HO decoder on the Marklin/Trix product pages, and also in mDecodertool. and it seems like mDecoderTool distinguishes the decoder in the motor option when the empty plux template has been selected. there are also other specific decoder options available.

Is it not little strange that we should get a " made by Piko" like a summer news, did they not find anything inside their own factory |
