Hi at all!

Some time ago I got an old TRIX Extress VT75, which I converted to Märklin system step by step.
The previous owner had already mounted a märklin slider. I replaced the wheels for those of the Märklin V80 (36080), the trailer got some out of the tinkering box. They will be replaced sometime for those of the V80 too because they have a slightly too large diameter.
The motor was changed too, a Bühler motor was mounted. The original Trix had enough power, but drove poorly on my layout.

A Märklin decoder 60905 is working as a reverse switch, it provides the light change white/red and has very good driving characteristics, even in analog which I prefer.

Best regards

Micha
