Hello everyone. I'm new in this forum; I greet you from Santiago de Chile.

I hope this is the right place for my query; If it is not, please excuse me. Also, excuse my bad English.

I'm doing tests to digitally control the turnout in the model I'm designing. To do the tests, I have assembled an installation composed of:

- Tracks and turnout K 22716;
- Central Station 3 Plus 60216;
- Decoder m83 60832;
- Accessory Turnout Control for m83 60821;
- Electric Turnout Mechanism 75491.

When I assemble the system without using the 60821 controls, everything works correctly. I can control the turnout from the CS3 Plus perfectly, although the movement is very abrupt: it is a jump from one side to the other. This is the diagram:



But my wish is that the needles of the turnout move more slowly, as in reality. For that it is supposed to be the controls 60821. But when adding the controls 60821 to the decoder m83 60832, a first problem appears: there are only 2 connectors for the 3 motor wire 75491. And a second difficulty is that I have not managed to know in which part of the CS3 the speed of the movement of the controls 60821 is controlled. This is the diagram of what I have mounted:







So, my questions are: I have done something wrong? Is any component missing? Is it possible to smoothly control the movement of the turnout needles with the 75491 motors using the 60821 control? Someone has told me that the 60821 have been manufactured by Marklin to be used with engines from other manufacturers. Is it like that? If so, is there another Marklin turnout motor for K track that is compliant with the 60821 controls?

The truth is that Marklin's manuals are very poor and often confusing. What is added to my limited knowledge of electronics. I appreciate your possible answers and help in this problem.

Best regards.

Hello!.

Well, I was already suspecting that the 60821 controls were not compatible with the 75491 engine, but I was looking for confirmation.

Thank you very much!!



It's true, you're right. They are just brochures with some basic instructions. Marklin is wrong in that.

Thank you very much for your answer, H0. You have helped answer a question.

Best regards!
