2.3.3 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 direc-
tion 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.
The smoke generator is on constantly
when the locomotive is operated with
the Delta Station. The other functions
are turned off. The smoke generator
must not be operated without smoke
fluid in it. For that reason you should
remove the smoke generator if you
want to run the model for long peri-
ods of time without smoke fluid.
The digital address of 78 set in the
locomotive and the cars is the same
as the Delta address 1. This locomo-
tive can therefore be run with the
Delta Station. The lighting in the cars
will be turned on as long as the
decoder address set in the cars is
the same as the decoder address for
the locomotive.
2.3.4 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.
The smoke generator in the locomo-
tive is on continuously when the
locomotive is operated with conven-
tional AC power. The other functions
are turned off. The smoke generator
must not be operated without smoke
fluid in it. For that reason you should
remove the smoke generator if you
want to run the model for long peri-
ods of time without smoke fluid.

Operation
2.3.5 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 manufacturer's
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 there-
fore be used only with limitations. In
operation with direct current the head-
lights change direction with the direc-
tion of travel and are on all of the time.
The intensity of the headlights de-
pends on the speed of the locomotive
