Model railway from around 1980 (?). Probably the first "digital" one? Are there any accessories for it? Brand: Märklin?
I received various tracks and two trains as a gift. Is it worth building them? Function unknown. There are three components that lead to the track. One has a keypad where you have to enter a code. I've unscrewed the two trains – there are eight switches – for the code. So, it's hopeless.
So, what should I do? Just take it to the bulky waste bin?

To test if and how your model railway locomotives still work, you should consider the user manual that is still available. If you miss them, you should try to get replacements. The 8x_DIP switches installed in the locomotives can be temporarily unchanged. Using the coding tables of Märklin, you can determine which 2- or 3-point address is set at the locomotive. You then have to insert and confirm this on the number keyboard. You can also read in the user manual. Determine which locomotives are in the locomotives because of the table.
Bing – Video You can take the video in. I just don’t know which decoders are installed in the locomotives. The programming of the mice piano (switch in the locomotives) can be different. Possibly the locomotives still have the address number.
Maybe you can do something with your find now.
I searched for the answer for almost an hour until I had the information together.
Thanks for your trouble – doesn’t make everyone. Thank you very much! Well, I don’t have “control instructions”. I want to know if the trains are still driving? Screwed a locomotive. Inside 8 adjusting screws:
Three with the overhead: ON.
RLC. with headline: RCLNO.
2 with heading: DT08
How can I find out if the trains drive – recognition on 0000 – or similar.
You don’t have to research, I’m in Dortmund in two weeks – there’s a specialist dealer. If so, I would be happy to answer. Nice choice.
Something went wrong. So again my comment:
You didn’t disappoint me. You answered. !
E result is irrelevant. One of my least worries – if it’s “one”?

You didn’t evade me – you answered. That’s something.

I have avoided writing incorrect information about the settings here, because I mainly know myself with analogue model tracks. I know that almost only digital model railways are offered. In the meantime, it has almost become a niche product. I’m sorry if I let you down. MfG, Carsten
Sorry – Switch – up and down. Open locomotive and there you will appear – As described. But you’re not going into the subject…
Sorry for the late answer.
Greeting from me
Set screws? That doesn’t tell me. Take some pictures to see the interior of the locomotive(s). Sometimes it helps. But the idea of finding an expert on intermodel construction is absolutely ok.
It sounds like you have a model railway from the 1980s, which might be one of the first “digital” model railways. The Märklin brand is known for its high-quality model railways.
It might be worthwhile building the model railway and testing if it still works. Even if the mode of operation is currently unknown, you could try to put the trains on the tracks and see if they move when electricity is connected.
The components you describe could be part of a digital control system where you need to enter a code to control the trains. It could be an interesting challenge to find out more about this system and see if it is possible to start it again.
Before you get rid of the model railway, you could try to find more information about the system, e.g. by searching online or turning you to collectors of model railways. It might be that there are lovers who are interested in such older models and accessories and can help you get them back to work.
What in your answer is: AI?
