Does anyone know anything about Marklin, specifically a DB BR76 4-6-4 mainline tank engine (electric not live steam), cat. no. 5706. The one I've seen (analogue) will only go in reverse even when the polarity is changed? Thanks.

Re:Marklin 1 gauge

Thats because it is requires AC current! The later digital Marklin has a chip that can be changed to enable DC use, I belive that you can rewire the older AC loco's to DC as the Motor itself is a DC unit................Paul...................
