My solenoid was switching, but the track was not moving. A type of rivet is the pivot point for the movable track, and I deduced that it must be too tight. After oiling it and pressing on the rivet from the bottom side of the track, it seems to be working better. Videos describing basic maintenance and repairs are very helpful. Thank you.
Just discovered your channel and love it. You have such enthusiasm and you make the tutorials fun as well as informative. I will definitely continue to watch!
That was really useful, thanks! I also need to do the same with some of my signals (semafor's), but not sure how to reassemble the solenoid? I guess it's not as easy...
Hi and thank you for this tutorial. I'm putting together an old m-track layout and found that some points tend to have the light switch on once connecting the two blue wires to the control box, and the point hums continuesly and remains stuck. Whats usually causes this?
Great comments and advice on the Marklin users forum!!! and a wonderful video. Question - I am in the midst of putting together a yard area - roundtable, etc. am doing this with K track versus M - the rest of my train set will be M.... I am in the process of purchasing the K track for the yard area - 22xx series is not a problem. Having said that, I have looked at the K switches - 2267, 2261, 2264 as well as 2271. I am inclined to get the 2271s and place the solenoid under the table - more prototypical. My question is do I have to use the 7549 solenoid or is there a more generic, prototypical (i.e. slower) and cheaper one to get.....? On the M solenoids - I am taking your comments, pix, and your video to heart. Many thanks.... Chuck
Thanks, awesome & really useful video. LED conversion would be handy, i'm short on power (too many points) Is there a diode or something in points to convert 16vAC to DC? my set is old analog so yellow accessory wire i'm sure gives out 16vAC, not DC... (yes i can see where DC make sense in direction of point throw, i just didn't question how..)
+Farid Rachmanyah Thank you for positive feedback Farid! Yes, I did have lots and lots too, so it was easy to get started on a large layout without a lot of $$$.

Today, 8 years later, I got a switch working again thanks to this tutorial. Many, many thanks!

Thank you Michael! Good to hear you like the stuff! 👍😊 Are you from Norway?
That was wonderful. I used to have such problems with my old M track turnouts. Will certainly put your advice to good use.

We have Flitz brand metal polish in the USA.
Nice tutorial ! What would be the best soldering iron temperature for desoldering resoldering yellow cable ?
Thank you! I use 270-320 degrees Celsius.
@@marklinofsweden Fine ! Thank you
I have done it ! Great 👍 ! Works perfectly. My turnouts are new again

+Chuck Deneen Thank you for your kind comments! :) I´ll look into this about the switches and repond within a few days. (y)
How do i connect the swicthes so they work?
Do You have a video tutorial where You show how to replace the lamp on the turnout with LED ? Since You mentioned it ?
+tenchu65 Hi! Not yet.. 😉 It's in the list of videos to be made...
Where can I find parts for my Marklin?
Thanks, awesome & really useful video.

I have tons of those kind of marklin track, nice tutorial

Very informative, as usual! Thanks.
How to replace the lamp
I just got a 1982 marklin display board and I fear I need to do this to all of them
Even if they work properly they’re still inferior to c track.
