Märklin 60985 Descodificador de som para locomotiva a vapor mSD/3 com chicote de cabos

For those upgrading an older Märklin steam locomotive or refining a newer one, the 60985 mSD/3 decoder stands apart with its 16-bit sound depth and load-dependent motor regulation. Instead of a generic decoder, this unit delivers authentic steam-specific audio—whistle, bell, air pump, coal shoveling, brake squeal, safety valve, water pump, conductor's whistle, and even station announcements—all adjustable and mappable to your preferred function keys.

Highlights

• mSD/3 sound decoder engineered specifically for steam locomotives (Dampflok)
• Compatible with Märklin mfx, DCC, and Märklin Motorola (MM) digital systems
• High-performance load-dependent motor control with up to 1.1 A continuous current
• Universal wiring harness (Kabelbaum) for flexible installation in various locomotive models
• Multiple function outputs for lighting, smoke generator, and auxiliary functions (total 0.5 A)
• 16-bit sound with extensive steam-specific sound library and customizable sound slots
• Shunting mode, acceleration/braking delay, and adjustable sound volume
• Programming via Märklin Central Station or Mobile Station

In daily use

The decoder brings a new level of realism to your steam operations. Load-dependent driving sounds respond to the actual motor load, so your locomotive chuffs harder when climbing grades and eases off when coasting. The included wiring harness simplifies installation, allowing you to connect the decoder to the motor, track pickups, lighting, and speaker (speaker not included). Function mapping lets you assign any sound or output to your preferred function keys, and the shunting mode provides precise low-speed control for yard work.
