storage cap for LGB 28006

[LGB_Chur_Arosa]

Hello, I recently acquired a new LGB 28006 Ruub locomotive (pictured below), it comes with MFX decoder and many functions, but to my surprise it doesn't include energy storage capacitor bank. it constantly gets stuck on the turnouts. Has anyone opened this to see if the LGB 55429 capacitor back can be hooked up to the main board ? is there room inside for it ? I searched online and did not find anything on this....it's a relatively delicate locomotive and don't want to open it up and be disappointed. I usually add a capacitor bank to the cheaper loc's and that does the trick, was expecting this one to have one for the price $$$.

TIA

Thread 'Keep ALive in Newer LGB MFX locos'

10 Mar 2022

Hi,

I've tried researching this on the web but hit a brick wall.

Do the latest/recent MFX LGB locos come with a stayalive buffer? If not is it possible to fit one?

I have seen suggestions that it is possible to fit an LGB 60974 MFX Power Buffer, but the Marklin web site has very little detail on this product.

Most of my locos are older units upgraded by me with Zimo and ESU decoders with no problem, its that I'd like to get some newer locos, but dont fancy binning the new decoders.

Thanks in advance

Greg
