1) What is the purpose of the site?
Worldmax.it is not an online shop !
The site has the expressed
purpose of sharing the passion for the world of model
railroad, in particular for the brand Marklin; our
"mission" is to give as much information about the objects
and create interest in the model railway scale.
Another
very important point is to create a knowledge network
among fans exchange views, information and also objects

3) How can
I understand the value of Marklin’s objects?
Thanks to
some manuals and catalogs, we can find the characteristics
and prices of the Target brand Marklin.
The peculiarity
of these models is also quote objectively given by experts, publishers and collectors,
with which you can evaluate a single item or an entire
collection.
The catalog with the largest source of
information is certainly the
"KOLL'S PREIS-KATALOG"
published in Germany.
It 'also possible to have even an
average price of sale, via price on auction sites, such as
E-bay.

4) What is the difference between an analog
or digital model?
The analog locomotives are the first to be born on Marklin
and operate in alternating current by receiving the
voltage from 3 rail: they have a relay inversion pulse,
which determines the direction of travel of the vehicle.
The engine on these models is very sturdy and the
operation is much simple.
The locomotives digital
are equipped with a digital decoder (DELTA SINUS MFX)
through which the locomotive (or coaches with digital
features) communicates with the control unit (f.e.:
CENTRAL STATION) from which it receives the necessary
impulses for operation and control of various functions
(start, lights, sounds, etc..); very important thing is
the ability to run from the same track many trains (up to
50), as they are recognized by the address assigned
automatically or manually.

5) What is the difference between a
Marklin
model and another vendor?
The most marked difference is,
without doubt, the
operation of the locomotives
is in AC, their the
stability, robustness, and features. See also the Marklin
History.
Many
manufacturers
have made efforts
to create
working models
also
in alternating current:
see
Rivarossi,
Roco
etc..
Some
Marklin
models
are
designed
for
CC 2 rail system
(see
Ref
HAMO),

6) Can I use my analog locomotive on a digital circuit?
The type of operation is different, so you cannot ,
without adapter, use analog locomotive on an digital
circuit or vice versa.
For the tracks the speech is
different in that a binary circuit C can be used with a
transformer connected to the analog binary gripping
current conveniently provided with an adapter.

7) I'd like
to approach to the Marklin railroad model, what should i
do?
The possibilities are multiple, starting from a
simple binary locomotive and some early arriving to
plastic digital extremely complex. The first consideration
is choosing the type of operation:
Analog --->
vintage
Digital ---> Current
The substantial
difference between the two, apart from the operation, is
the availability of the products: for the digital can be
easily found in stores, while for the analog are
substantially objects of the used market.
For beginners
it is always advised to buy a start-set, since it is
composed of all the accessories required for the
realization of a small circuit.
