Hi!

I just signed up for Märklin-users today with one question in mind. I have a starter M track set from the 1970s with an oval, loco and two gondolas. I'd like to add an extension set 5191 (with electric turnouts). One I'm looking at on eBay has no instructions but otherwise likes O.K. I've scoured the Internet for a PDF or anything of the sort and now I'm here. Can someone point me to such a PDF or a link to what I'm looking for?

I don't know if I'm doing this correctly but you folks look friendly and will surely set me straight if I'm doing it wrong.

Thank you

Steve

Hi Steve,

What do you need a pdf for? The set will work nicely with your starter set, and they are easy to set up.

Cheers….

Mike

You can find pdf manuals for turnouts and some signals in this thread - 5117/5202 (Post #2):

https://www.marklin-user...ns---requested-documents

I would also recommend you download and read the Eckert Engineering book (Post #3). There may be others that will help such as the 0340 signal manual, feel free to download whatever you need.

Joël et al,

My 5191E arrived this afternoon. It didn't have instructions so I printed your images and went to see what I could do. I plugged things in the best I could. The locomotive runs. A little light on the turnout lights up. Pushing the buttons on the 7072 does nothing. But I'm missing a connection somehow. My transformer only has three terminals, brown, red and yellow labeled O, B and L, respectively (hard to read). I'm running wires from the brown and red to the feeder track and the yellow to the 7072, as in your picture. It looks like I also need to run a brown wire to the end of the 7072. Do I need another 7209 and some more wire to conned the transformer's brown terminal to both the track and the blue box? (I see them for under USD 10.00 on eBay.)

Thanks to all for your advice! In the meantime

Steve

PS Here's a link to the other instructions I found--

Yes you can use the 7209 or any other distribution block to connect the brown wire to it and then run the brown wire from there to the track and to 7072.

NO! You need to run only a BROWN to the 7072. No yellows to that box...
You probably dont need any more 7209´s, if your plugs have a hole in the side, where you can insert an additional plug.
The only 7209 that you have, should probably be used for the yellow wires.
Best regards
