It took me a few minutes, but it looks like some detail on the bogies/side of the locomotive are inverted http://www.railfaneurope...c/Ae6_6/cargo/610519.jpg http://www.railfaneurope..._6/cargo/610_500_rr2.jpg Regards Mike C

You think your eyes are playing tricks... then you see it and you can not UNsee it... And what is really bizarre to me is that all of the older MäTrix Ae 6/6 have the bogie leaf-spring/sidebars correctly oriented... Perhaps this will fall under the "wait until they arrive at the shop" and see if the picture in the brochure was just wrong - although there is no indication that the image has been retouched.

The part number 41 "Blattfeder" - Leaf Spring - appears to be a separate part number. Whether it is truly "replaceable" is another matter. I also would not think it was a part that could be put together incorrectly and actually fit... I can hear it now: "Hey Jimmy! Hurry and put this thing together so we can take a picture!" https://www.maerklin.de/service/...lnummer=37362&lang=1

I guess it is possible to invert the part if the two pins are symmetrical and I guess that that is exactly what happened. Pretty sure that this can be corrected long before the model hits the store shelves Regards MC
