Hi! Cem, The LED PCB on #37356 does not come with Red LEDs for rear lights. It only has warm white headlights/ rear-lights with beam light switching. The part number for warm white LED PCB is #137084

Cheers,

Rajnish

what were you able to find out as far as part numbers go?

Please see my response to Cem. I am still waiting for Lutz' detailed response. He has kindly agreed to share with me and other fellow members on the forum the process for adding the beam light capability to Re 4/4II models. He will be posting the detailed approach for upgrading the Re 4/4II models in a separate article on the forum soon for the benefit of everyone.

Thank you so much Lutz for being so helpful in sharing your expertise. I must say that you have been one of the most helpful members when it comes to sharing technical tips on how to improve the functional capabiities of existing models.

Rajnish

I swapped the shells from my 37343 with my 37344. This way, I have a red Re 4/4II with the red taillight which I use with Lima EWI NPZ coaches and one of my RailTop BDts.
When the lok is pushing the consist, I turn the lights off and run with just the red LED at the rear of the train.
My 37343 Re 4/4II TEE is not used for push-pull operations as it pulls my Maerklin, Roco or Lima TEE coaches. For that reason, I decided that making the switch was worth it.

The new 37356 will also be performing similar duties, except that it's consist includes a mix of Roco SBB EWII IR and comfort stripe coaches and another one of my RailTop BDts.

I also have the 29859.1, the 34341 and 34345 on freight assignments (Post train/local goods trains). The 37345 is pulling a modern SBB EC like the ones between Zuerich and Munich.

I may still add the 29481 if it grabs me, but as I already have a Hag Re 420 Cargo, it was not a major priority for me.

I would love to see a Re 420 Cargo domestic from Maerklin. I am sure that this might eventually come as a re-edition of the Re 10/10 Set. A Re 430 (Re 4/4III) might also be interesting.

I would be interested in seeing how the conversion comes out. I have ordered enough LED kits to upgrade two of my models with basic yellow LEDs.

Rajnish and Mike,

Thanks for the part numbers and info on them.

I have one more question though: I have made a PCB and installed bright white LEDs on them for my double-traction Br185's (see pics below). If I make PCB's with red LEDs on them for this loco will I be able to use them with the present decoder?
