Hi, these locos with the large Cine-motor have been a bit of a pain for me, yes you can buy a conversion kit at a high price and I didn't had in mind to go down this path, the main problem was the braking distance. My solution was to add an ESU sound decoder V 5.0 and use this decoder for headlights, cab lights, high beam and interior lights for carriages and leave the motor as it is., this meant that all the wires for lights had to be disconnected and only the wires for the motor kept as the original, the full sound for the loco was a real bonus., there are also sound decoders without motor connection John Edited by user 26 October 2024 11:30:18(UTC)

Hi have you tried the driving boards from Mr Iten at www.rail4you.ch? They work great, and then you can use any deco you want Regards |
 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 |
