How to install a decoder in an analogue Märklin locomotive 

Thank you. We will have a live stream on Twitch on 19th April 2023 about the same topic, check our Facebook page for more info. The viewers can ask question on the go.

It's just training. You get a steady hand after burning yourself a couple of times. (And also I'm the one with non steady hand, compared to Sven Magnus)

From what I see you need the motor kit 60941 (same as in the video) and either a Märklin or ESU decoder. Open your lcomotive and check that inside looks the same as in mine. There are only 3 different kits.

@@thetrainroom Thank you.

Yes, you can. The decoder has nothing to do with the mechanical current pickup.

@@thetrainroom okay! Thank you. Converting a dc loco next week.

You mean what type of LED i used, I bought some from distrelec. Unless you go for special types, they all have similar ratings. I have bunch of different ones in different size and light temperature.

This is not a resistor, but a chocke (inductor). It was a part of the kit. Otherwise I recommend around 4 uH.

We will make that better next time.

What do you mean? He did a good job and nothing went wrong. That thing runs beautiful.
