For the moment, I only have a Marklin my world train that runs on batteries and I'd like to get a train that uses the electricity from the track. Does the ICE 3 item 37789 have headlights and interior lights? Can I use a Rivarossi ICE T item number 2372 on Marklin track with a mobile station 2 and a DC wire although the train uses DC? Can I download the Main Station app and plug my I pad into the rail box item 60113 and have it work?

According to LokMusezm the answers are yes. It is an old "fantasy model" and AFAIK there are no extensions for it. http://www.lokshow.de/sh...te=&SID=700853360554 Originally Posted by: Arey2003 Can I use a Rivarossi ICE T item number 2372 on Marklin track with a mobile station 2 and a DC wire although the train uses DC? I'm not sure what you are asking. You can feed the catenary with DC while you use the Mobile Station for the centre rail. If the Rivarossi train has a decoder, it can be operated with the MS2, Originally Posted by: Arey2003 Can I download the Main Station app and plug my I pad into the rail box item 60113 and have it work? Not my area of expertise, but you have to do some soldering or maybe buy some products from the can bus project to make this work - if it can be done at all.

Hello Yes, headlights (yellow/red changes depending of the direction of travel) and interior lights. On the middle (motor) wagon, lights only on half of it. Photos attached of my ICE3. No extensions ever produced. Only this set. Cheers, Walter waorb attached the following image(s):
