3060 & 4060 Santa Fe
The locomotive 3060 and it's trailer wagon (4060) are quite old, most likely from early 60's. I think that my father bought this somewhere around 1962-1964.

By googling from the internet I found out, that the conversion of this locomotive with Märklin mfx conversion set (item 60923) is not officially supported. Anyhow there were some notes that this conversion can be easily done if motor brushes are installed at the same time with brush plates.

This is the only tricky part. Brushes must be installed simultaneously with brush plate. We first tried to put the brush springs to their correct places and install the armature at the same time with brush plate, but this did not work. Correct way is to put the brushes to brush plate and not to load the springs! Then everything goes smoothly.
Quess who forget to put springs to brushes, and spent quite a while trying to find where the fault is.... :-)
The only negative thing here is that one must remove brush plate for checking or replacing brushes!

All parts fitted in. Still the cables needs to be put nicely. The front lamp is changed to a new one with special socket.
The printed circuit is located behind the reversing unit (which is naturally not used any more).
