To be corrected: I don't think that any manufacturer beside Märklin and HAG use all current motors. When they make a AC model they only install a slider and insert a direction relay. Nowadays I think they only supply the latter; inside is a NMRA plug with 2 diodes for the light when running DC, this simple plug is replaced by the plug of the relay (or decoder with plug).

I'm not thinking of installing a 60902; I would install a Lokpilot instead. Which has the plug. I see no reason to pay for a 60902, and the extra work with installation (if NMRA socket). OK; here is an answer to your question: if the box is marked with the NMRA plug symbol it certainly is a DC motor.

BTW, the 5 pole motor of Roco is really good!

Good luck.

There is one disadvantage with the LokPilot though: It does not apply any speed / acceleration control in conventional AC mode. The Märklin 60902 actually applies the maximum speed and acceleration delay in conventioal AC mode too.

Hi all,

Thanks for your comments! So, anything else than Mä or HAG (like Rivarosso, Brawa etc.) actually has DC motor.
