FAQ

• Q: How should I transport the model?
  A: The model should be securely fastened on a pedestal inside the original cassette for safe transportation.

• Q: Can plastic parts be easily replaced?
  A: No, most parts of the model are constructed of metal, making replacements more complex compared to plastic parts.

Putting into Operation

Before Operating for the First Time
This model is especially complex and costly in terms of its technology. Most of the applied parts are constructed of metal. Such parts cannot be replaced as easily as plastic parts. Please therefore note that you should handle this model with special care. Please contact Märklin Service for replace-ment of parts or repairs.

This heavy model was bolted to the base for safe transport. Please transport this model properly and in the original packaging.

Note:
The connecting cable between the locomotive and tender may be plugged in only when there is no voltage present or on. To do this, place the locomotive and tender on a length of track with no power in it or shut the layout off before doing this. The cable connection between the locomotive and tender snaps into place and must be unlocked for separation.

Safety Notes

• This locomotive is to be used only with an operating system designed for it (Märklin AC, Märklin Digital, Märklin Systems, DCC).
• Use only switched-mode power supply units and transformers that are designed for your local power system.
• This locomotive must never be supplied with power from more than one transformer.
• Pay close attention to the safety notes in the instructions for your operating system.
• The feeder track must be equipped to prevent interference with radio and television reception when the locomotive is to be run in conventional operation. The 104770 interference suppression set is to be used for this purpose.
• The wire used for feeder connections to the track may only be a maximum of 2 meters/78 inches long.
• Do not expose the model to direct sunlight, extreme changes in temperature, or high humidity.
•  WARNING! Sharp edges and points are required for operation.
• The LEDs in this item correspond to Laser Class 1 according to Standard EN 60825-1.

General Note to Avoid Electromagnetic Interference:
A permanent, flawless wheel-rail contact is required to guarantee the operation for which a model is designed. Do not make any changes to the current-conducting parts.

Important Notes

• Due to the high power requirements for this heavy locomotive, there are only limited possibilities for operation with the 60652/60653 Mobile Station.
• The operating instructions are a part of the product and must therefore be kept as well as transferred along with the product to others.
• Please see your authorized Märklin dealer for repairs or spare parts.
• The warranty card included with this product specifies the warranty conditions.
• Disposing: www.maerklin.com/en/imprint.html.

Functions

• The mode of operation (AC, Mfx, Märklin Motorola, or DCC) is recognized automatically.
• Mfx technology for the Mobile Station/Central Station.
  • Name set at the factory: S 2/6 Museum
• Address set at the factory: (Märklin) 32/33 / (DCC) 3
• Setting locomotive parameters (address, acceleration/braking delay, maximum speed, etc.): with the Control Unit and DCC (CV programming), Mobile Station, or the Central Station.
• Direction-dependent headlights.
• Voltage buffer included (to buffer dirty areas of the track)
• The model is designed for operation on Märklin 1 Gauge track. As the consumer, you assume the risk of operating on other makes of track.
• Minimum radius for operation: 1020 mm/40-1/6“.
• Only the train control functions and headlight changeover feature are available in analog operation.
• In the decoder settings, DC operation is deactivated at the factory, since this otherwise causes conflicts with the braking distance. To use DC operation, it must first be activated. CV 27, bit 4 and bit 5 OFF; CV 50, bit 1 ON

Note about Installation in the 59960 Display
Use the original mounting bolts from the locomotive and tender and the #10 spacers from the 59960 display for installation in the 59960 display.

( ) Values = factory settings

• DCC: programming on the programming track using CV programming, programming with PoM (Program on the Main); this must be supported by the controller you are using.
• The values for the desired setting must be added!
  Example: The number of speed levels 28/128 = 2 + DCC operation with a braking route = 4, results in the value = 6

Operation on a layout

Operating the locomotive on grades
In contrast to the prototype, a locomotive on a model railroad can operate up steeper grades. As a general rule, a grade should be no steeper than 3%. In extreme situations a maximum grade of 5% is permissible, keeping in mind that the locomotive’s tractive effort will be less. The beginning and the end of the grade must always work gradually up to the maximum grade for the route.

Tips For The Care Of Your Locomotive

• Due to the heaviness of the locomotive, we recommend thoroughly cleaning the wheel sets and the track after about 10 hours of operation and lubricating the wheel bearings again.
• This locomotive can also be used outdoors. We do not recommend running the locomotive in bad weather (snow or rain).
• The mechanism and the electronic circuit are protected against spraying water. The locomotive cannot be run through water. We recommend that you check the locomotive over after running outdoors and that you dry it with a cloth or clean it with a brush if necessary. Never clean the locomotive with running water.

Important:
Cleaning fluids can attack the finish and lettering of the locomotive and damage them.

When using the reproduction prototype couplers the locomotive must be run on curves greater than 2,320 mm/92“.

The following listing gives the factory settings in the area of function mapping for the decoder to 55160. These settings can be changed multiple times and at any time. See also supplemental decoder instructions.

Note:
The settings for function mapping are very complex and require extensive knowledge of working with DCC.
