For Trix Marklin will make locs with the new sinusengine and DCC decoder.

Correct! For both versions of Märklin's C-Sine motors corresponding driver pcb's exist. Latest one's can be seen for example in these models:

BR151 Railion (#39582) in comparison with BR151 DB-Cargo (#37432)



BR103 (#39572)



and here (compact C-Sine) (new V200/Am4/4):








I can't say if/that it works with any decoder, but for sure it works with Märklin aka ESU decoders which are equipped with the 21-pin mtc interface, so DCC is no issue at all there. Reason why I say this is that you need additional power/signal lines which may not be available with any decoder.



I've already several models with both C-Sine motors and these drivers, either new or retrofitted myself, and as mentioned earlier I am more than satisfied with the performance of these motors.

Lutz, how much do you usually pay for the driver board, c-sinus motor and loco specific PCB? Just an indication of the typical value would be fine.

I mean that you are driving Trixlocomotivs with c-sinus motor on the 2-rails with DCC...!

I`m not writing about Marklins loco with DCC decoder,instead 2-rail loco with same motor as Marklin...!

Anyone,please!

Hi Goofy,

assuming you too know which TRIX models are offered so far with the new C-Sine motor the lack of responses to your inquiry should not be a surprise at all - none of them has been delivered yet.

Regarding your comment about Märklin (Center rail) vs. TRIX (two rail) this should make no difference when using DCC, MM or mfx decoders. I don't know if anyone has so far replaced the factory delivered mfx decoders of the Märklin model with new C-sine by a DCC decoder (at least I haven't and I have no real reason to do so ).

So, when you talk about "problems" without being more specific I would doubt that you will get any reasonable answer at all - at least not until the new TRIX models are delivered since they come with a very specific DCC/Selectrix Decoder.

What else do you expect the dealers whom you plan to visit to tell you? They have not even seen those models.

OK, point taken.
But Goofy appeared under more names on this forum, and it is known that he changed from AC to DC visa versa several times after having critisism to Märklin or other brands, or the digital control system used by several brands. I have no problem with AC or DC model railroaders, but every system has it advantages and disadvantages. And you can rather learn to live by them, instead of giving spicy critisism to them and selling all your stuff all together.
And I promise to be more polite in the future.

I`m now very dissapointing what you are writing like this about me...! [xx(]

I was only writing some question and not attacking against 3-rail or 2 rail people...!!!

What a sucker you are!!!!!!! [xx(]

And besides,Trix has already gave out a model name "Henchel-zug" that has c-sinus motor.It`s stand so in the Trix-cataloug and are saying too with c-sinus motor.

I have not yet seen anyone model with c-sinus motor in action...!For 2 rail system...!

Amen, Timaximus! BTW - very interesting to watch your progress.

Hello Lutz,

When you compare both the C-Sine (old and new) on your layout, can you see substantial differences in any operating characteristics?
