I checked the 37961 and it does have the lamp. Must have to get in touch with my dealer out why ?? I always open my boxes over a white sheet in case there are little thingies that come loose and get lost upon opening. There wasn't something loose in the box when I opened it on this one. But it is a little simple item that can be easily replaced. A very beautiful item in deed.

At best it would be a dummy light since there is no "light path" to that part of the lok. Went up to the RJF site where there is a picture of the lok and it does not have the light either.

In era I the GT 2x 4/4 didn't all have this third lantern so I guess it's not a mistake to have only two on the front of this great loco. But indeed, the picture doesn't match the model completely.

No lamp on the box art, just the same bracket. BTW, mine runs great, but not much traction on hills.[xx(] At least, not compared to an E94 or BR232.

The 37963 weathered show in the data sheet the third lamp as F function, but nothing on loco. No third lamp on my old Rivarossi model too. Very good close-up pics Shannon

Joined: 15/04/2003(UTC) Posts: 2,734 Location: ,		All varieties of this model so farwere delivered with each two head/rear lights except the sandy painted "delivery version" #37961, which has three. The weathered version #37963 was delivered with the booklet/data sheet of this model (part #605931), which can also be seen when looking at the model outline picture on pg.16 - this one shows the center front light. The booklet of #37961 was used with the special dealer model #37963 since they both contain the same decoder and thus all other descriptions apply to both models (I think Märklin decided to omit the creation of another document for this special dealer model just because of that minor difference - and everyone can see that the weathered model has only two front lamps ). For those also interested in knowing the inside of the 37964 model, here is another picture. Actually, it's not very difficult to retrofit earlier BR96/Gt 2x4/4 models to the new sound version (which will doubtless also be delivered with the five locos of the new Borsig series), just a few parts are needed. Another nice and rather easy modification is to add a smoke unit to this model. Here's a picture which also fits just well to the current season! Regards, Lutz

Joined: 15/04/2003(UTC) Posts: 2,734 Location: ,		I simply used an old bulb contact. The funnel fits well for the 7226 (although I think I used a Seuthe #11 here). If you use a similar Seuthe smoker with one cable, it's just more inconvenient to remove the loco body and the smoker cable may brake due to its relative stiffness. In order to fit properly, you also need to cut 1-2mm off the steam tube which leads just from the bottom side into the body. On my 3796 I simply replaced the c90 with a c91; f1 switches as usual the smoker and f2 switches the cabin light. I'm still thinking to further enhance the model with the mfx sound decoder of the #37964 as shown on my previous picture. Since we got some new flakes of snow today, it might be time again to reactivate my snow blower with this nice locomotive. Regards, Lutz PS: If you plan to do this change, do NOT attempt to pull off the front chamber door, at least the first time; instead push it out with a corresponding tool.
