Hello, i`m new user of Marklin. Help me, please.
I bought used the railroad 29506.

But my locomotive does not go, but only shining lights and the light is regulated by transformer control.



Tell me, please, can the train control board is defective or installed jumpers incorrectly on the board? I have no instructions



P.S. I'm sure similar topic at the forum were, but I did not find it, select them, if not difficult. Thanks.

Hello, welcome to the forum, your jumpers are ok for analog operation, if you get lights and no movement the problem might be stiffened oil in the motor or axles, clean an relubricate the engine, also check the motor brushes.

Hi and welcome to this forum,

You can contact member Andrey as he lives in Moscow too. I think he can help you if needed? I would just take the brushes off carefully by lifting brush holding springs. Just take off the black and copper color brushes. Then try to rotate locomotives rear wheels by your fingers, but be careful and rotate both wheels at the same time to prevent the wheels from rotating around their axles... If you manage to get them to rotate next step would be to put some drops of light oil (Märklin oil or Faller oil for example) to motor axles and gear + wheel axles if needed. Best way would be to open the whole motor and clean it, but if you find it too difficult task try these first. See how the brushes look and clean the ends. If they look ok, put them back in motor. See that they come back to right place and see that brush springs have some pressure against them.

If still no success, then there might be some other problem and then I recommend to open the whole motor if any wire is not loose.

I hope you get it fixed. Please report here when you get it running, as we all want to know what was the cause of this running problem.

Edit: In your photo where the wheels are shown the rear wheel looks to be rotated to wrong position vs. two other wheels. See the wheel weights location to each other.

Janne

Generic service sheet attached, ignore the image of the mechanical reversing unit, you don't have that, yours has a Delta Decoder instead but the oiling and service information is still relevant. Hope it helps until someone else with the same set can scan and upload the exact service sheet for your model

Well yes, being a kid and first unpacking my dad's train after many years, i have done that to make a 3000 move.....results: a broken teeth on the plastic gear as pointed out by Jorge.

The same happened to me and my 3000 when I was a kid.

Also check if the top right pin on that ic chip needs to be re soldered.

I've got what may or may not be a related question:

I have a Marklin 3094 analogue locomotive that runs very sporadically. The odd thing is that if I lift the rear wheels of the loco off the track, so that only the front wheels and the front part of the pick-up shoe are in contact with the rails, it runs like a champ. Likewise, if I lift the front of the loco, so that only the rear wheels and the back of the pick-up shoe are in contact with the rails, it also merrily chugs away flawlessly. It is only when the loco rests properly with all wheels properly set on the outer rails and the full pick-up shoe resting on the third rail that it operates in fits and spurts.

Any ideas? I suspect the pick-up shoe, but do not see anything visible that would confirm my suspicion.

That basically did the trick Brandon. Thank you!

It still lurches a bit, but I think a good overall cleaning and maintenance session should go a long way towards curing any remaining glitches.
