Hello, is it possible to test a Marklin locomotive with a 9-volt DC battery? I wanted to buy a locomotive from the Internet unfortunately I don't currently have a Marklin controller although I've already pre-ordered the 29484 starter set but it's taking long. Thanks.

Hi!
You can test analogue Märklin locos with DC, but some digital ones will not work.
Some locos may not yet move at only 9 V though. |
