Hi from Athens.
I have the ProX and Intelibox on Marklin K track. I have put also an other independent line for the Roco "Strassenbahn".
For the Marklin system all electric thinks is easy. 4 boosters , 5 S88 , 14 K83 , 6 K84 also the Roco 40111~ crane and the Marklin Turntable works perfect. The problem now is to know exactly the components for the DC system!
I make a parking with one turnout (2 Trams Roco) and all story in my layout is this:
The tram No.1 to start from the parking No:1 to go to the first "Tram Stop" and after 10 seconds of STOP, to go to finish at the "Central Station". After 2 minutes of stop on "Central Station" to going back to the "Tram Stop" and after a stop of 10 seconds to going again to his parking No.1.After 15 seconds the tram No2 from the parking No.2 to start to make the same story ,so ,to go to the first "Tram Stop" and after 10 seconds of STOP, to go to finish at the "Central Station". After 2 minutes of stop on "Central Station" to going back to the "Tram Stop" and after a stop of 10 seconds to going again to his parking No.2 and start again the Tram No.1 and after again the No.2.....
Regarding the Decoders for Roco trams I think to buy 2 Tams decoders DCC with function.
First of all, i mast use my Intelibox. But i use his power for one part of the Marklin layout.
1. Is problem for his power to use the Intelibox in the same time as DC and AC system? If is it problem what type of connection for the boosters can use, the same like Marklin, Tams, Littfinski in Motorola Format and in the same line after this boosters to connect a booster (Motorola Format & DCC) for DC layout??
2. The Roco turnout can be connected to K83 that i use for the Marklin System? If not, what type of K83 mast buy?
3. I mast make Feedback contacts.( 2 at the parking - 1 at "Tram Stop" - 1 at "Central Station").What type of S88 mast use and the most important , HOW TO CUT THE LINE AND FOR HOW DISTANCE 10 - 15 cm or 20 cm ?
A. ( On AC is easy,but on DC track...!!!!)
B. (the cut ed pcs. can have current?)
C. (The Littfinski "RM-GB-8-N 8-fold Feedback Module with integrated Track Occupancy Report" can be a propose? Other cheaper S88??)
D.( I have the Viessmann 5217 "
DIGITAL2" is O.K. for DC System?)
THANK YOU in advance and best regards.
