That is true. But actual we have a new generation of these motors available. So from us you will get only this new generation, when you send us the damaged turnout motors for a check. Sincerely yours, Your Maerklin Customer Service" Frank Mayer So there you have it folks - another pack of non-working 74491's on its way to Marklin soon..... I'm not sure if its available yet at dealers.....seems M will only replace it with the "new generation" once they "check" the faulty ones...? Joe

Thanks Soren - yes, I'm not sure when/if the "new generation" motors were placed at dealers? At Lokshop and Modellbahnshop-lippe the 74491 is now not in store - they are "on order", and can be reserved.... I certainly hope your new ones are these "new generation" ones!! I will remove my 18 mechanisms - pain - box them - more pain and send it back to M...... thanks, Joe
