Märklin Reversing Units (aka Relays) - Tips and Tricks (part 2) - Common Issues - Little Helpers

This mini series is all about Märklin reversing units (aka reversing relay, "Umschaltrelais", "Umschalter", reverser, etc). Where they come from, where they go wrong and how to fix them.

But I think I cover enough ground to get out of the majority of potential issues...
