Hello All

Pulled out my Marklin trains recently after moving and set up system again.
The system is running the older M style tracks with single transformer and 66045 Delta run / control box to run 4 trains - all works great

However my question concerns purchasing a new Marklin 36821 KPF train.

I can't get the train to run, with or without the 66045 Delta box.

what am I doing wrong?? clearly would like to and be able to switch via Delta box

Thanks in advance for any input

what loco address does the manual say it has as the default address? It sounds like it is not one of the four that the delta control uses, although it should run as an AC analogue loco.

Thank you and that's what I would have thought as well running on regular Analog mode.
The instruction manual states that factory preset is 23 and should run on Marklin transformers, Marklin Delta, Marklin Digital and Marklin Systems.
Too bad, i had looked for this model earlier prior to putting away and was pleased to find one for sale.
Guess I have to send it back.

Hi
You need to change the locomotive address to one of the 4 delta addresses. (78,72,60,24).
unfortunately i dont think it can be done with the 66045. The easiest would be if you know some one with a 6021, Mobile Station or Central Station.

Don't give up on your loco. You only need to find a way to change the address. There will be someone around who can help with that
