Hello experts,

I wanted to understand if Märklin 6005 can be used in an old analog layout?

The aim is to have more power in the layout to run more numbers of trains.

Currently I use a Märklin 66470.

Thanks
Raj

It could be but it is a switched mode power supply and not a conventional transformer. It also doesn't have a speed controller and no reverse direction ability.

Thanks a lot!

Then I guess I’ll refrain from getting that.

I don't recall a 6005. Did you mean a 60055? The 6001-6003 were definitely transformers, and the marklin database also describes a 60055 as a transformer for the USA (110v) market, which would not be any use for someone in Sweden.

EDIT: I just found this -> https://wiki.3rail.nl/in...?title=M%C3%A4rklin_6005 It must be more that 25 years sold and is unlikely to be a switched mode power supply. Would it be as simple as hooking this thing up to a potentiometer and driving the analogue trains from that?

if it is what xxup says, it can be used to power Märklin 6600 and 6699 units, giving excellent analogue control and direction switching.
With its 60VA output, you should have enough for 2 such units.

Also excellent for lighting and accessories on a permanent layout.

It is NOT a switch mode power supply. It is a 60va transformer that was brought out with the cs1 to provide additional power over the older versions that were used with the 6021 control.

You could use it on an analogue layout inconjunction with other components.
