Here is a simple conversion suggestion for the old LGB-2×430 locomotives (Ge 4/4-II) without interface. With an additional 24V relay you can simply use the old pantograph control. The three-pole cable from the lower part to the upper part is removed. The electronics (motor control) in the lower part are replaced by the XL / XLS decoder. The white + brown cable is connected to the decoder via the…
On several occasions, we set up a circuit here to digitize the old DUO locomotives with electric decouplers. The circuit was tested by me once on an XL decoder and worked and is in this form only for one drive usable. Nevertheless, I can give no guarantees for replicas, this is at your own risk. The circuit must be doubled for both drives. The function output of the decoder…

The sound project of the BR 50 (XLS 8210560) has now been available for about 2 weeks – with the latest update we have optimized the reproduction of the steam chuffs and provided it with a new dynamic, so that we have continuously harmonic steam chuffs, even at high speed. The sound project of the Emma (82×0570) has also been revised and is available for download via the MST….
Here we will explain how to realize a Ditchlight. A Ditchlight are 2 lights of the front light, which blink alternately when operating bell / horn. Here the circuit for a Ditchlight. The values of the resistors have to be adjusted. The following CVs have to be programmed using a XLS and when triggering the Ditchlights should take place on key 1: CV 113=1 (A3 at Key 1) CV…
Today we have updated and uploaded some sound projects for you again. In some sound projects the structure was optimized, partly new sounds were integrated or optimized.

Dear customers, We are pleased to inform you that the pantograph drives for 8440012 drive for single-arm pantographs (2/pack) and 8440022 drive for scissor pantographs (2/pack) are now in the middle of their production cycle. With well over 100,000 test cycles, the drives easily withstand the loads in the model thanks to the latest special motor. The motors previously planned simply did not withstand the loads in real continuous…
Our hard-working employees should also take a vacation, so the technical hotline will not be available in the next two weeks, from Monday 12.08. to Monday 26.08.
