Hi Everyone

I am looking at buying the Marklin Rotary Crane. How do I make this crane with my DCC system. I have NCe, anyone who can provide help would be appreciated.

Here is the crane:

Hi Caso,

great question. Here is a thread on another forum that might give you some information that you are looking for http://www.modelrailforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=852 .

From doing a bit of reading in german forums I have read that Marklin basically has their own version of DCC to work with the AC voltage on which their system is based upon.

Here is another crane made by Roco that might be of interest: http://www.eurotrainhobby.com/product_info.php/Digital-gantry-crane/Roco/cPath/1_2_26/products_id/8441?osCsid=q2d7h9f29lardbrjui597ooen2 . I am not totally sure but I do believe that these cranes would run on a conventional DCC system. Ask the hobby shop.

Hope it helps

Frank
