This morning, the company released the following message: https://www.roco.cc/ren/...htjet-black-edition.html If you have this model, please do not use it and contact your dealer to find out the procedure to follow Regards Mike C

I would not want this model back in the hope it had been fixed. I wonder at times if manufacturers do proper testing and run locos for many hours. Not all of course but a sample should be tested before put on sale.
		Take care I like Marklin and will defend the worlds greatest model rail manufacturer.

Customers with the analog version are asked not to return their sets. In other news... this: https://www.marklin-user...w-Items--2025#post679791 Regards Mike C
