Joined: 28/01/2004(UTC) Posts: 617		Dearest Märklin friends, Do you think that it would be safe to use the digital loco 2680 (in a fully digital system with a 6021) with the coaches coming from the 2880 Set, which means with an analogue set? May i do that? Or eventually may I mix digital and analogue coaches. Any advice is very appreciated! Best regards Stefano

		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

Joined: 28/01/2004(UTC) Posts: 617		Hello, thanks! do you suppose the flickering will damage the lamps or not? Is not the voltage in the Digital system very higher than in the analogue? May all work right anyway? thanks in advance for any suggestion! Beste regards Stefano Rocca Originally Posted by: franciscohg Hello, it should be no problem at all.

Also with too much time of ooperation they may free too much heat damaging the plastic. I would use them not for very long time and replace them later for proper digital bulbs. But it should be no problem using it to watch your train run. Regards

In the article I show you why, see page 12 for current details. I hope you find the information useful.
