New features for the Märklin Central Station

Märklin - July 2007


Free update for more realistic game play

Märklin now provides a free update with additional play features for their Märklin Central Station. Previous control units of predecessor systems can still be used without restrictions. This is an important step of Germany’s market leader towards value conservation and continuous compatibility throughout their product range.

The update includes new software for the Central Station and additional hardware components for the s88 decoder that integrate control units of digital predecessor systems.

The update has to be implemented by the official Märklin repair service. Please contact specialized dealers or send your Central Station directly to Märklin Repair Service. Future updates will be available on the internet.

New Features:

- Track control comparable to previous Memorys - Interface for PC communication for future updates
- - Interface for PC communication for the control unit (different providers are currently working on relevant software) and data backups
- Interface for the s88 decoder
- Interface for the 6017 booster
- Simple, innovative operation of locomotives by optimized operation screens
- Control units of digital predecessor systems compatible without restrictions
- Free hardware upgrade includes wires, plugs and latest handbook

DMärklin seeks to preserve user data during the update of the Central Stations. However, in case the unit has to be replaced, Märklin cannot guarantee data preservation
