Hi everyone,
I have a Marklin 3048 from 1964, it was my first loco and was a gift from my father. Although it is close to 50 years old it still works but in Analog. I would like to know if this model can be digitized and thus be able to use it in my layout.
Thanks in advance

Hi The 3048 is a wonderfull model Here is mine from 1959 (the copper windings are masked by a black thin plastic foil  Sans titre.png (1,223kb) downloaded 58 time(s).Those model were equipped with a LFCM (Large Flat Collector Motor) BUT a standard HLA (60944 Märklin 5 poles) does not fit because of the brush holder. Some do a bit surgery with the brush holder (see below the link The best is to use a marklin E188838 kit (28€ on ebay.de). Fits perfectly, only genuine Märklin parts. For the surgery approach, I suggest you visit this page in this forum https://www.marklin-users.net/fo...-3048-digital-conversionCheers Jean |

Hi Fernando, You may find my article on the 3026, also for 3048 of interest to you. F800, 3008, 3026 and 3048 motor conversionLink updated 30-12-2024 A LokPilot 5 decoder would be a very suitable decoder for your locomotive. Originally Posted by: fvelazdem  Hi everyone,
