Märklin 37642 internal wiring.


Introduction

This page shows the internal wiring of the Märklin model 37642. It differs from the other Märklin MaK models in that it has the Swiss light scheme, with three white (yellow) lights forwards, and the lower right white (yellow) light backwards.

Thanks to Bart-Jan Kullberg for the information about the original wiring, and for the photo on this page.

Original wiring

The original wiring of the Märklin 37642 is shown in the figure below. The decoder board seems to be the same as for the 37645 model, despite the fact that they have different article numbers. At least the circuit board is the same.

LED boards

The LED boards are different between the 37642 and the 37645. On the LED boards for the 37642, there are no red LEDs. The lower left and the upper LED are wired together, while the lower right LED is separate. The picture below shows the LED board at the short side of the loco.
