Usually this means that Märklin may not have the final information on that yet, as in which of their lighting and coupler kits they want to recommend for this set. I'd wait until they are released, then Märklin should have this information provided, or ask with Märklin directly.

		Take care I like Marklin and will defend the worlds greatest model rail manufacturer.

They listed a Marklin lighting set but when I checked with my dealer he said lighting these would be tough. They were Trix coaches and there was no factory solution to powering the lights or any easy way to install the lights. It really wasn't a solution, just a bullet point in a product list, so this is not surprising. I have bought many coach sets, then bought the Marklin lighting, installed it and been happy. But I learned it is not always that easy.
		Regards, Jim I have almost all Märklin and mostly HO, although I do have a small number of Z gauge trains! So many trains and so little time.

I have mine on order and will be receiving soon. For those who have received theirs, I’d be really interested to have your opinion on whether you were able to install the lighting and a grinder for power pick-up. Judging from the comments and understanding that this may have been a Trix designed, I’m hoping that there won’t be issues with getting power to the lights. I’m also wondering if the standard current conducting couplers will work as well.
