Do somebody among you have some experience to use 74462 and 74466 Marklin decoders for switches and parameters possible for other kind of signals than German? Thank you for your attention and responses (if possible)

I was dreaming about the time where I will buy a station CS3 or other expensive tool with just a screen to change switch and signal. really thank you for this quick and usefull response. In addition, 60832 seems to give connexions for future signals no? My usual seller told me the same advice but I not understood. Sincèrement merci Regards Alain

I believe you mean 60842 which allows to drive 4 simple light signals and control 4 stop sections or 8 street light sections See here https://static.maerklin....b76db190ed1566485190.pdf Cheers Jean
