1) It shows a wire going from the Marklin to the C002. Where does the wire come from, is it included?
2) How many C002 switches can you attach to one Marklin power pack#67271)
On another subject, can you use Marklin locos with Rokuhan controllers?
thanks

The accessory cable is A010 it is two wires has the correct plug on the end to connect with turnout control, and two bare ends that you connect to AC accessory terminals on the Marklin controller. This cable is not included with the C002 There is circuitry inside the Rokuhan turnout controller to convert ac voltage from Marklin controller/throttle to dc to control the points.
You could also use the wall transformer from Rokuhan A011U (North America)
Rokuhan controller/throttles are designed to be used with any Z scale engine no matter the maker/brand.
In the videos introducing their controller/throttles they show them being used with Marklin/ Tenshodo/ Micro Trains Rokuhan and Crown.

The switches operate from momentary switch which send a very short "burst" of electricity to make to solenoids (or something close to a solenoid) move the track.
I don't think this is quite right. The C002 I have uses a double throw switch. So there should be a resistive current flow after the solenoid does it's thing. I'm guessing the current would be <1mA per turnout.
