Hi to all,

some time ago i have posted my redux of a 3060 (not Santa-Fe but New Haven) as part of my "trainz-that-never-existed" project. here's the link: https://www.marklin-users.net/fo...ault.aspx?g=posts&t=8159

here's the digitizing part of the work:

for the conversion i have used a 4 function decoder for older Marklins (an amazing decoder made by a friend of mine): no need to the change magnet works really good.

i wanted a light set-up as such: the lower light would be the regular and would change to red in reverse. the upper would be separately controlled far-lights and would go off in reverse. so i had to use a relay to give power to far-lights according to direction.



reversing switch removed along with other cables.



the decoder + decoder plate



decoder attached to te plate with shrink tube and mounted in place



soldering done as usual.



building a cowling for led lights



separate rooms for leds so lights wont mix (especially red)



leds in place - all surrounded with aluminum foil for better insulation



relay in place



used precission sockets for easy maintenance



cowling in place



some progress made



after a few hours work is done



body on the chasis

so here's your TCDD DE15000 series loko. TCDD never had F7 locomotives. TCDD diesels are numbered after the pulling power of the engine (1500 hp --> DE15000, if it was 2200 hp it would be called DE22000)
