Money saving tip:E516520 Inductors/Chokes are 3.9 uH (micro-Hendry) inductors available from local electronic component stores.
These are the ones you connect inline to the motor feeds. They look like resistors, but are not.
Note: The classic Märklin BR01 - F800 / 3008 / 3026 / 3048 / Primex 3193 - requires a special motor kit as the front brushplate has different locations of screw mountings.
Part number for the kit is
E188838. They are readily available on eBay - search for the part number.
How do I know if a loco already is digital or not? 37xx is digital (6090 decoder, load regulation).
36xx is digital (6080 decoder, no load regulation).
35xx is analog (but regulated 5* motor)
38xx analog two-rail DC
39xx is analog (loco assembly kit).
30xx/31xx are analog
33xx is analog (with electric reversing unit)
34xx is delta (may have DIP switches or solder pads for address selection)
To have more numbers, Märklin switched to 5-digit numbers in the early '90s.
Nowadays you cannot clearly tell from the number what you'll get.
39xxx: c-sine motor or SDS
37xxx: digital (load regulation, 6090 or 6090x decoder, some with SDS motor)
36xxx: digital, some with load regulation
34xxx: delta
33xxx: delta (IIRC)
30xxx: analog or delta or digital
What is called "load regulation" in the list is when the decoder electronics compensates for eg uphill and downhill and tries to keep a constant speed with varying loads. In cars it's called "cruise control"...
Adding the chart detailing LFCM motors and whether a particular loco has a 7 tooth armature or an 8 tooth armature.
