Product details
The Märklin 72442 braking module controls stopping of compatible digital locomotives with regulated high-efficiency propulsion. It provides connections for a two-aspect color light signal and the three isolated track sections required for controlled stopping.
Operate it with a k 83 decoder or a conventional 7272/72720 control box. The installation requires a transition section of approximately 70–90mm, a braking section of at least 40–50cm, and a safety section that switches off the operating voltage. Braking distance depends on the locomotive decoder setting. Track, signal, decoder and control box are separate.
