Hi,
I want to upgrade two little steam locos with a new motor. The BR24 (M*3003) and the BR38 M*3099). Which high efficiency motor do you advice me ?
Thanks, |

The one that fits on it  Ussually 3003 can be fitted with a 60903, or mfx equivallent. with 3099 should be the same. Now for the 3003 with the 60901 there is a slight problem with the screw of the bottom of the motor plate, it touch the wheel of the loco, so you have to polish the head of the screw to msake it fit. |
 German trains era I-II and selected III, era depends on the mood, mostly Maerklin but i can be heretic if needed XD, heresy is no longer an issue.. LOL |

Hi Francisco,
Thanks for the information. I'll try a 60903 for both.
Is there any list published of the right "high efficiency motor" related to old 3xxx and 31xx locos ? I've a lot of them and want to upgrade some in the future. It's not clear for me when a 60901 is appropriate or not. Most lists are related to decoders, not to motors, and, honnestly, I don't see the differences.
Thanks again |

Hi Matthew, Quote:[size=1" face="Verdana" id="quote]quote: Originally posted by Maxi<br />This website has a list of locomotives which can be converted with the 60903 and 60904 kits. http://home.swipnet.se/perz/el.html Very interesting site. Strangely, the two locos I mentioned are not included [:(]. Anyway, I trust Francisco and will follow his advice  Once again, when you need assistance, there's only one address : Marklin-users.net  |

I have putted a 60903 on a 3003.
now i'm at the hospital
tomorrow i will post a picture of what is to be done.
The lists ussually are for locos with no problems of conversion, when you have to do some little thing they did not appear.

I hope you did not end up in the hospital because you tried to convert the 3003...
Please tell us how you converted the 3003 with the 60903. I would love to convert my old 3003 for my son.
Thanks, Bernhard

Hi Francisco and Ray,
Francisco, I wish you an ICE-y or TGV-y recovery, hoping your hospitalization were a preventive measure without consequence for you. I'm looking forward for your detailed explanations.
Thanks for the link, Ray. It looks like the one Matthew has sent. But do you know where the several notes in the last column are refering to ? I found no explanation of it. |

The missing footnotes are as follows (based on what was printed in the Marklin Magazine).
(1) Later production of these and similar models were converted to drum commutator motors.
(2) This model is indicated as suitable for conversion in the instructions to 60903, 60904.
(3) This model requires extra effort for conversion.
(4) This locomotive was tested by the author for conversion with 60903/4.
(5) Vertical top screw required on brush plate. New models (e.g. 24 061 no. 30033) have a motor hood. It has not yet been possible to test these models.
(6) The 60903 set will probably fit, since the locomotive frame is caomparable to 3034. Test fit the housing!
(7) Decoder fits in turned posistion without milling. More recent examples of this class have drum commutator motors.
(8) Eventually, the LED lighting may need to have its polarity reversed when connected.

Thanks again, Matthew.
It's really wonderful : you've a problem, you need assistance, you ask a question and someone there, member of marklin-users.net, has the answer.
You're wonderful, guys, and, obviously, girls !

Hi, no, i'm just working at hospital like usual. Anyway here are the pictures of the 60903 kit on a 3003: Loco stripped out and fully cleaned:  Screws that come with the 60903, original and polished one  The original screw, touching the wheel  and now, everything is ok  Apart from that, the kit runs perfectly, i have no decoder yet, but the engine was tested with a DC source and runs like heaven. This weekend i will buy decoders and other stuff, so i hope to have a final result in a couple of weeks. |

Congratulations, this is a clean solution for old 3003!
BTW, are all the BR 24 equiped with an SFCM and not with the more modern DCM motor ? In this case, the 60903 should always do with a BR 24.

I don't know, perhaps newer ones have the DCM, in this case the 60901 kit should fit. |

Marklin does make a screw with a reduced head like you created, Francisco. I think it is 756060. I bought a few for my parts drawer and used one in one of my conversion for this purpose. |

Thanks Ron, good to know, i think i will have the same trouble in some of my other old locos, it is always good to use original Marklin parts..... |

By the way, i was thinking on adding a seuthe unit to this loco.
Can it be done?
The plastic will have no harm?, i don't want my old loco (one of my father's originals) to be melted. |

Congratulations, Francisco.
Please keep us updated if you manage to fit a smoke unit on it. I have the same idea for one of mine, but also not sure on how to isolate the plastic case. |
Band on the run |
