Which Märklin Lighting pickup shoe Kit?
There are several lighting pickup kits for Märklin passenger cars.
Which would be the correct pickup kit for an Märklin 42156 - Express Train Passenger Car, SBB?
I would use either the Märklin or the ESU interior lighting strips for the lights and do not need conducting couplers .

Hi,
I have a similar set, the 42160. You need to separately bring the two polarities (rail and center) to the light bar. For that you need in each wagon a 72021. That brings the rails up in each wagon. In addition to that you need in at least one wagon a pickup shoe, probably 73406 (or 73405, or 73404, see what fits, don't remember exactly which one I picked).
I prefer to install a single pickup shoe and use the current conducting couplers from 72021 to bring this polarity to the rest of the wagons. This keeps the noise at a lower level.
As for the interior lights, ESU 50708 is really great.
Cheers,
