This page shows installing #658530
Delta decoder for MAXI loco for KofII locomotive.
Tasks of the project:
- The KofII loco
equipped with old gauge 1 digital circuit.
- There are genuine
conversion circuit board from marklin, but it is no
longer available as far as I researched.
- I installed
#658530 Delta decoder from E69 MAXI loco to KofII instead
of original decoder.
- No additional
function.
Arrangement of
equipment:
- Original
arrangement with old gauge1 decoder.

- Arrangement with
#658530 Delta decoder.

Points:
- #658530 Delta decoder fixed in
backward of engine room.
- Additional circuit board that
mounted register for slower speed and connecters for
motor/power supply and lights mounted over the decoder.
Details:

Conclusion:
- The KofII got
easily got new digital format 'brain'
- The slow running
character is not so bad because of original high quality
motor and gear system.
