      @@ModelTrainFun I build in a small room of 9 square meters on 3 of the walls, to get more track surface I build in 3 height levels with 2 helix to be able to reach all 3 levels, level 1 and 2 have helix for 2 tracks for meeting to the level 3 have helix 1 track, there will be mostly locomotive garages up there so there will be most locomotives going up there.
      Level 2 is the main surface with several heights on the track, level 1 is an industrial area with several side tracks for setting up wagons.

    Another good video abort the 72442/1 breake module, but I always use a Dumb signals and a m83 with the breake module, it reduce the Price with over 66% pr. signal zone. Best Regards Olav

      @ModelTrainFun  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi Olav, I agree that the price of braking module with signals can be quite expensive especially if you have many signals where you would like to use the braking module on your layout. In this case dumb signals with M83 is indeed cheaper. Enjoy ;-) Bo

    Hello Bo, thank you so much for being so very helpful with CV47, fixed! Yipeee! You are a very patient man, I am so grateful! Watching your earlier videos I see how easily you connect the track wires to the C Track. I seem to find I have to widen the wire connector to the B and O Male lugs. Is the normal? Or is there an easier way to join the small connectors please? I tend to have to lift the track connect to push it on. Best regards Tony

      @ModelTrainFun  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Tony, I am glad you got your CV47 issue fixed! Related to your difficulty with the connector to the B/0 connections? I usually find that it is too loose and need to squeeze the connector. Try to flip the connector so the flat part is towards the track. It slides on differently. Enjoy ;-) Bo

    Hello Bo, I have watched this video five times! Extremely interesting and allows just what I want, trains waiting for a clear route, without loosing sound and lights. Thank you once again for this excellent explanation. I have one thing however, am I correct in the understanding that each breaking area needs its own module? If so, I unstand why in an earlier video you says it is an expensive solution.
    Thanks again Bo, I eagerly waiting on your next realise………. TonyH

      Hi Tony, yes - one braking module per signal. This becomes complex and expensive. If you have a larger layout consider automating it using software - or CS3. Enjoy ;-) Bo

    Another great video and explanation, thank you Bo! I have a couple of questions: 1. Can I use m84 decoder instead of m83? Does the Brake Module 72442 allow me to connect multiple traffic lights?

    • @ModelTrainFun
      @ModelTrainFun  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Pedro,
      Glad you like the video!
      As I understand it you cannot use the m84 for this - at least not according to any manual from Märklin that I have seen. Can it be done - not sure?
      Multiple traffic lights (signals?) - if they need to show the same yes - otherwise one brake module per signal. This quickly becomes very expensive. If you have automation, consider using CS3 events or software instead - then you do not need the brake module.

    After my grandpa died I stopped with my model train.. Now I have picked it up again. I am still using the F80 controller and the interface. I have been experimenting with Itrain (used to use koploper). Itrain also controls the braking of trains.. What is the advantage using brake modules instead of computer application?

    • @ModelTrainFun
      @ModelTrainFun  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Hinerakatauri, welcome back to the hobby! If you want to control the entire layout by computer the best way is to have the software control all train motions. Hence, using itrain you do not need the braking module. The braking module is advantageous if you are using manual control (forget to brake at signal) - or want a simple way to automate your layout without a computer. Enjoy ;-)

    • @ModelTrainFun
      @ModelTrainFun  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Bernard,
      You cannot use the brake module to change speed of the locomotive. However, if you have the CS3 with L88/S88 then you do have more control over the trains and do not need the brake module. As an example, check out this video: th-cam.com/video/MtZ1MYwOLDY/w-d-xo.html. You can find all videos on automation here: th-cam.com/play/PLYAhs-Pox3sHzQJsNU-FmOEj1ylO-NPpV.html. However, this is a much more complex way of controlling your layout and it requires quite some trial and error.
      Hope this helps! Enjoy ;-) Bo

      Hi, you can find Minitrix locomotives at your local model train shop or here: www.maerklinshop.de/en/trix/minitrix/locomotives/?p=1. As I understand it all modern Minitrix locomotives come with a decoder and supports DCC. You may still find older (used) Minitrix locomotives that are analogue? Hope this helps! Enjoy ;-) Bo

      Hi, If you are talking about running PIKO locomotives made for 3-rail (with a slider), then you can also run these on your Märklin track. You can see what to think about when running Non-Märklin on Märklin 3-rail in this video: th-cam.com/video/nkePdjQNzws/w-d-xo.html If you are talking about 2-rail model trains, then I unfortunately do not have any 2-rail locomotives or track. However, there are many other videos on this topic available on TH-cam. Enjoy ;-) Bo

      Hi Michael, yes - unfortunately. Using brake modules is expensive and complex. Consider using events in your CS3 or software to control your trains instead. Easier, simpler and less costly.

    Have you tested by use ABC brake with other brands by use Märklin tracks? ABC brake are cheaper than Märklins brake modul.

    • @olavchristensen4776
      @olavchristensen4776 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, but you still need a digital signal which is more expensive than a dumb signal which you can connect directly to the 72442/1 and manage through a m83.

    • @ModelTrainFun
      @ModelTrainFun  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Anders,
      I have not tried the ABC brake technology. However, the Märklin brake module and the ABC brake tech are not compatible. For both of them the decoder must be compatible with the chosen "brake method". I do not know if Märklin decoders support ABC? As I understand it ABC is normally used with DCC. However, I also understand that not all DCC decoders support ABC braking.
      Note: There are also other Märklin compatible brake modules available e.g. bogobit.
      Let me know if you have any experience with this. Enjoy ;-) Bo

      @@ModelTrainFun As far as I know, Märklin locs do not support ABC, which is too bad. ABC makes the DCC signal asymmetrical (positive pulse being higher in amplitude than the negative one); the Märklin braking module changes the rail signal into negative DC. Both are interpreted by the loc as a brake command, but ABC has two important advantages: 1) with ABC, the loc can still respond to other commands, and 2) it doesn't require the isolation/transition section. Märklin braking requires it, to prevent shorting out the signal generator by driving a train across the section.
      BTW: The signal generators for both ABC and negative DC braking are super easy to build yourself, schematics can be found with Google. Components: a small 24V AC driven relay, a few diodes, a capacitor, that's pretty much it. For the price of 1 Märklin module you can probably build 8 of them, and they function just as well as the factory one. I've no idea why they made it so expensive.

      @@ModelTrainFun Looks like my previous comment got eaten :)
      As far as I know, Märklin is not compatible with ABC. ABC works by making the DCC signal asymmetrical: the positive pulses will be higher in amplitude than the negative ones. Märklin works by turning the track signal to negative DC, which is interpreted as a command to stop. The advantage of ABC is that DCC signals will still get through so you can run functions on the train, possibly (depending on the decoder) even get the train started again. Also, ABC does not require the isolation / transition section. The purpose of that section is to prevent shorting out the signal generator of the braking module when you run a train across the section.
      BTW you can build your own braking module with maybe €10 worth of parts. You need a DPDT 24VAC relay, a few diodes, resistors and a capacitor, that's all. ABC braking modules are even simpler in nature. I'm not sure why Märklin decided to charge this much for the module. Schematics can be found easily and anyone with a little skill at soldering can make one of these.
