Omg you are a wizard
You lost me when you took the cab off
Beautiful
😀👍🙏
I see this video is already one year old. This 3056 has been restored to its original analog "configuration" very nicely, well done. 🙂
I really need to put it on the layout again at some point
Interesting. A reverse conversion. Nice presentation of the process. I've done quite a few conversions to digital. I keep all the removed parts in a Ziploc with a label of the parts' source.
Cool, thanks. If you don;t know what to do with the parts, I'd be happy to have them 😉
Super video, thumps up.
Greetings Andre. 😁😁👍👍👍🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
Thanks for the visit, and the many thumbs :)
Hello 👋 my friend fabulous video enjoyed very much seeing you at work with this engine always interesting to see how these models are put together enjoyed my visit very much thanks for sharing as always keep safe cheers for now cheers for now al 🚂😁🤗👋👍😄👍
Thanks very much,
PS: nice new camera :)
Some people do really botch jobs and when it comes time for us to work on these models we find all sorts of things mostly not needed but that's just the thing of it. I have a DC crocodile but in Brown. I just noticed your issue with the running and stopping.. @7:38 the grey wire has broken from the motor contact and is more evident when you turn the loco over @8:30. You could have used the 5 pole motor without removing it and putting an original motor into it.. All in all, it is great to see these locos being used and brought back to how they were meant to be.
Thanks for watching with so much attention 😉 Couple of things: I broke the grey wire when I was filming, so that wasn't the problem, but it could have been. I think the problem was that one of the screws holding the magnet in place that was too long and rubbed against one of the metal gears under certain conditions. But that doesn't matter anymore 😀 The 5-pole and 3-pole armatures have different diameters, so I couldn't have left the 5 pole in place with the field windings I fitted. Thanks for the visit!
Runs very well, I'm glad you breathed new life into this reptile again 🐊 🐊 🐊 Good job man. cheers, martin
Thanks a lot Martin. Take care!
I love watching your videos. Great work on this crocodile. I often look at your videos for tips and solutions for my grandfathers locomotives.
Thank you very much, glad you found a few things useful on the channel.
Dear Marklin colleague, you made a very, very good work, congrotulations.
Thank you so much 😀
@@The3rdRail I just bougt a second hand Krokodil at eBay and this information will be helpfull, have seen several of yr. vídeos, and are very clear and helpfull.
Many thks. & B.Rgds., Kris
how nice, enjoy!
a great locomotive the crocodile, a nice video, great explanation, best regards Kai😊👍👌
Thanks Kai much appreciated.
so nice 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Many many thanks
A very beautiful back wards conversion from digital to analog, your soldering skills are quite good, and your faithfulness to the cables are impressive. It’s just such a fun to see a master at work. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Glad you enjoyed it, many thanks for the compliment, you are too kind.
Very nice! Really enjoying these small restorations. Runs well!
Glad you like them!
A Masterclass in restoration 😁 Excellent detailed video, your soldering skills are far better Han mine😁
You are too kind... Thanks!
Hi. Bruce again from NZ. A great presentation on how to put this back to where they should be. Question please. I am building up a Marklin analog display and a t the end of your video I saw a brief look at your controller layout. Can you tell me what controllers you use for your layout control. Very much appreciated. Regards. Bruce.
Thanks! I use standard transformers and wireless switches for the turnouts, signals and contact tracks (home made solution).
Due this video I bougth Crocodile 👌
sorry! 😉
@@The3rdRail Ha,ha,ha,ha
Thank you for your reply. Are the Marklin white controllers any different from the original blue ones. Also wireless switching units and controller, are they available on the market or are they made for you. I know the wiring for even my N scale layout I’ve built is the biggest nightmare of the whole layout. Regards. Bruce.
The swiches are home made, so is the software to control them, it runs on a rapsberry PI. This is not ready for wider distribution at this point in time (liability + support overhead).The white transformers are modern versions of the original blue ones, and made to operate with modern grids. The older types will output a higher voltage today. For example an old blue metal transfomer made in the 1960s will generate a reverse pulse higher then the 24V it should. I measured one of mine at 36V to 40V... Not a problem on pure analogue locos, but a problem with decoders and some electronic reversers, as the component used for them are usually rated for lower voltages. Additionally, the metal transformers can cause electrocution due to decay of the wiring, some models are nearly 75 years old now...
Unfortunately I got so fed up with the little reversing relay I converted all my loco's to digital
I do this too from time to time on unreliable models
Any idea why it was stopping with the chip fitted? I had a similar situation which I may have been due to it overheating.
No idea... Overheating is possible, could also be due to something rubbing against the gears (for example a long screw not meant for the magnet)... Obviously I gave up before finding out...
Mistreated locomotive
