2.4.2 Operating the locomotive
with Delta
To operate the locomotive with Märklin
Delta you use the Delta-Mobil to sel-
ect the address, that has been set on
the former. The locomotive will run
forward when you turn the speed
control knob to the right of the center
position. Turning the speed control
knob to the left of the center position
will cause the locomotive to run in
reverse. The headlights change
direction with the direction of travel
and are on all of the time. The
maximum power output of the
Delta-Station is sufficient to operate
2 to a maximum of 3 single motor
locomotives at the same time.
All other functions (sound effects,
Telex) are always turned off in Delta
operation.
2.4.3 Operating the locomotive
on alternating current
When the locomotive is operated with
AC power in conventional operation,
the 32 VA transformer (no. 6645,
6646, 6647 or 76648) can be used.
Locomotive speed is increased by
turning the control knob to the right
and is decreased by turning the knob
to the left. The direction of travel is
changed by turning the control knob
to the left past the "0" setting.
The command to reverse should be
given only to a standing locomotive,
never to one in motion.In operation
with alternating current the headlights
change direction with the direction of
travel and are on all of the time. The
intensity of the headlights depends
on the speed of the locomotive.
All other functions (sound effects,
Telex) are always turned off in AC
power operation.
2.4.4 Operating the locomotive
on direct current
Märklin does not offer DC power
packs for 1 Gauge models. Suitable
DC power packs are those with a
maximum current of ±18 volts.
Direction reversing is done by rever-
sing polarity. The manufacturerís
instructions for a particular make of
power pack will give directions on
how to use it to operate a locomotive.
Tip:
H0 DC power packs supply a maxi-
mum voltage of ±12 volts. This loco-
motive reaches its full potential at
±16 volts. H0 DC power packs can
therefore be used only with limitations.

Operation
In operation with direct current the
headlights change direction with the
direction of travel and are on all of
the time. The intensity of the head-
lights depends on the speed of the
locomotive.
All other functions (sound effects,
Telex) are always turned off in DC
power operation.
