done under mfx and DCC.  

Notes on digital operation 

•   The operating instructions for your central unit will give you exact procedures for 

setting the different parameters. 

•   The values set at the factory have been selected for mfx in order to guarantee the 

best possible running characteristics. Adjustments may have to be made for other 

operating systems. 

mfx Protocol

Addresses 

•   No address is required; each decoder is given a one-time, unique identifier (UID).

•   The decoder automatically registers itself on a Central Station or a Mobile Station 

with its UID-identifier.

Programming 

•   The characteristics can be programmed using the graphic screen on the Central 

Station or also partially with the Mobile Station.

•   Function mapping: Functions can be assigned to any of the function but

-

tons with the help of the 60212 Central Station (with limitations) and with the 

60213/60214/60215 Central Station (See help section in the Central Station).

DCC Protocol

Addresses 

•   Short address – long address – multiple unit address

•   Short or long address is selected by means of CV 29 (Bit 5).

•   A multiple unit address that is being used deactivates the standard address. 

Programming

•   The CVs can be read and programmed repeatedly. (Programming is done on the 

programming track.)

•   The CVs can be programmed in any order desired. (PoM - Programming can be 

done on the main track). PoM is not possible with CVs CV 1, 17, 18, and 29. PoM 

must be supported by your central controller (Please see the description for this 

unit.).

•   14 or 28/126 speed levels can be set.

•   All of the functions can be controlled according to the function mapping (see CV 

description).

•  See the CV table for additional information.

We recommend doing programming always on the programming track.

SERVICE

Lubrication 

The axle bearings and the side rod bearings should be lubricated occasionally with a 

small amount of Märklin-Oil (7149).

Replacing the Smoke Unit

•   Turn the smoke stack and pull up (Fig. 2).

•   Pull the cover off the smoke stack (Fig. 3).

•   Pull the damaged smoke unit (smoke stack insert) out of the smoke stack with a 

pair of tweezers.

•   Separate the wires (Fig. 4).

•   Connect the wires with the new smoke unit. When doing this, twist the ends of the 

wires and insulate the connections.

•   Push the new smoke unit into the smoke stack.

•   Put the model back together.

Replacing the Light Bulbs 
Lanterns (front below):

 Remove the lamp housing from the model. Pull the light bulb 

out of its socket. Plug the new light bulb into place. Put the model back together. 

Lanterns (front above):

 Remove the lamp housing by pulling up from the model. Pull 

the light bulb out of its socket. Plug the new light bulb into place. Put the model back 

together. 

Lanterns (rear):

 Loosen the screw holding the lantern in place on the locomotive 

body. Remove the lamp housing. Pull the light bulb out of its socket. Plug the new light 

bulb into place. Put the model back together.
