Hello, I have an older 1 gauge Marklin BR80 tank locomotive that has an old decoder with an 8 position dip switch to use to set the address, I guess it is Delta?

My question is does anybody have the guide or knowledge to tell me how to set the train to different addresses? I remember from before that there is a code to use...

Second question, can I run this locomotive using a Marklin mobile station2?

I am just learning how to work the Marklin digital system and for me, being analog and or digitrax for a long time it takes some getting use to.

Thanks guys for all your help!

Thank you for the response.
Here are 3 pictures to help out our conversation.

I own a power supply going to a Marklin #60114 Digital Junction Box and a Marklin Mobile Station 2.

I realize that I could take out the electronics shown and add a modern digital decoder, like a Massoth or otherwise
and the mobile station 2 would run it fine. However, this locomotive is mostly just for testing a layout that I am building, so I am interested to gain the knowledge of
how to make it work, if possible, with the mobile station 2.

*First picture- there is a 3 position switch as shown in the positioned to the left. I can move it to the middle position or all the way to the right position.
Not sure what it does or what position it needs to be left into?

*Second picture- There is the decoder with 8 dip switches, currently set with switch 1 in the "on" position and all others in the "off" position.
Not sure how to set this.

*Third picture is of the motor in case you need to see it.

Thank you for your help,
Todd

My bad, was going to send it separately and you beat me to the punch, now the system is saying that I can't add a picture that big???
Sorry.
Have to go to work, ugh.....

Got it to work, thanks guys for your time and help!
Have a nice day,
Todd

Thanks Jean, I have tried that and it comes up with no loco present....

I might just use it to add Massoth sound and smoke since it is so clean and didn't cost a whole lot.

Maybe somebody else on here has the answer, we will wait and see, thanks for your research and help,
Todd

If you're missing something Chris then so am I.
Switch one being on and all the others off = code 78 doesn't it?

I assume Todd must have tried this but if not just create a locomotive with code 78 and see what happens.

That is also the switch position code for Delta locomotive number 1 when using a delta controller but I don't think that applies in this case.

Thanks guys for all of your help.

I now have the locomotive running and the lights work as they should.
Every once in a while I have noticed that after turning down the speed to 0 the locomotive still wants to keep moving slowly. Obviously, hitting the stop button keeps it at a standstill, but I found this strange.

I have one other locomotive in gauge 1, a Baden P8 with sound. It works flawlessly on the same layout with no problems, so maybe there is something up with the BR 80's decoder?

Anyway, all good for now, thanks again for the help walking me through this :)
