2 The World of the
TWIN-TECHNIK
The TWIN-TECHNIK is an interesting system for
digital multi-train operation which has emerged
by FLEISCHMANN continuing to build on the
already well-known.
It is multi-lingual and covers not only the langua-
ge of the FLEISCHMANN Multi-train system
(FMZ) but also the international Digital Com-
mand Control DCC) as per the NMRA standard.
The TWIN-TECHNIK opens up the door for
FLEISCHMANN railway modellers into the world-
wide standard of digital control for model rail-
ways.
Your advantage with the TWIN-TECHNIK: FMZ-
locomotives with different decoders which you
already own can be run on the same track, alon-
gside locos with inbuilt TWIN-DECODER or DCC-
DECODER using FLEISCHMANN control equip-
ment.
It's even possible to have simultaneous operation
with conventional D.C. locos together with FMZ-
locos or similarly digital locos with inbuilt TWIN-
DECODER, providing that the conventional D.C.
transformer is connected via a TWIN-Coupler
6806. In this case, however, no DCC-locos can
be utilised.

2 The World of the TWIN-TECHNIK

You can however, run FMZ and DCC locomotives
of the NMRA standard together simultaneously
on the same track - but without being able to use
conventional D.C. locos or transformers.
The TWIN-TECHNIK is more than just a control-
ler. FLEISCHMANN has a range of precision
equipment designed to fit in with it in order to ful-
fil your every need.
With just one TWIN-CENTER and one TRANS-
FORMER, you can straight away begin to run two
digital locos simultaneously and yet independent
of each other on one track. If still further loco-
motives are added, then that's no problem either,
because the previous one can be handed over to
the TWIN-CENTER as a "main-line" loco. Adding
in a TWIN-CONTROL or FMZ-hand controllers,
which are plugged into TWIN-BOXes, additional
locos can be run under direct control. The same
you can achieve by connecting in a LOK-BOSS
6865.
If the current requirement gets too great for your
larger layouts, then the energy from extra trans-
formers can be fed via TWIN-BOOSTERs into
separate circuits or sections in the layout. The
previous FMZ-Booster 6805 can also be used for
this purpose.
