The boogie seems to be prepared for it already... Regards Jean-Pierre

The 1990 catalog lists 600878 (short 50mm) and 600879 (long 62mm) as AC sliders (general parts). For the ETR 610/RABe 503, the part was HL1600/10 (short). Any short (50-52mm) slider with centre mount should be useable. You should be able to use the Brawa Silencio slider or the Maerklin 7164. Roco's Flusterschleifer may be problematic as it generates pressure which could lift the bogie off the rails in certain situations Regards MC
