Hi All,

Is there a way to convert old Marklin analogue signals to be used in a digital layout?

Cheers,
Ranjit

Hello Ranjit.

Your question must be answered with a question, the old signal can be used just as the points, since the are solenoid opperated in funktion - so i realy don´t understand your question. What do you mean?

Hi Philip,

My question is: Can these analogue signals be used in a digital layout without any kind of conversion? I am sorry that my question was confusing.

Cheers,
Ranjit

You can use them with a k83 decoder (no need to convert them).
You can use them manually as they are in digital layout.

In both cases you need signal braking modules (Märklin 72442 or similar) if you want locos to stop with lights and sound on.

I wouldn't call that a conversion, but you need some extra devices to use them.

Tom

Thank you for the info, Thomas.

As I have absolutely no idea how an analogue signal would work in a digital layout, could you help me understand how the "extra devices" are put together?

Cheers,
Ranjit

Ranjit, just think of the K83 as a substitute for the 7072 switchbox. You wire your signals to the K83. The K83 has a digital address, which is how the Central Station talks to it. You can wire the cables for the dead section from the analog signal just like you would if you were using it with an analog layout.

As Tom says, if you want locos to stop with lights and sound on, you need signal braking modules - Märklin 72442 or similar.

Hi David,

I see. Would you recommednd the Marklin 3402 Signal Book? Does this book explain how analogue signals are connected to the K83 decoder or similar and the use of the signal braking modules?

Cheers,
Ranjit

Hi Ranjit

If you go to this site: http://www.majhost.com/c...in/gallery.cgi?i=2428016
it is possibel to se on a picture how the K83 decoder is connected to that signal.
