Setup
This Märklin starter set gives you the basis for the exciting, varied, and entertaining hobby of mod-
el railroading. This hobby features multifaceted, different activities in many technical disciplines
and offers an immense variety of different ways to play.
Before you begin to set up the layout for the fi rst time, you should carefully read the following
points:
1. Check to make sure that your starter set is complete. In this instruction manual you will fi nd
many pictures of products that do not come with your starter set. The table of contents included
with this set will tell you what is included in it.
2. This starter set is suitable for setup indoors only.
3. The transformer for this set is not a toy. It is only to be used to supply power to the layout. Before
using the transformer for the fi rst time, make sure you read the safety notes in the instructions
for the transformer.
4. The controller for this starter set has been prepared at the factory for the entry of all Märklin
locomotives. The locomotive will register itself and will be taken into the memory area of your
Mobile Station. The locomotive is now ready to be used.
To do this make sure you read the notes in the operating instructions for the Mobile Station.
The examples and images shown on the following pages should not be taken as hard and fast
rules on your layout. They should serve merely as ideas. Freedom to do things on your layout is
basically limitless; you alone set the parameters for it.
