Hi all,
I was wandering if anyone has installed interior and marker lights into the 43597 bi-level car set. There is no mention in the catalog and there were no instructions in my set, it doesn't look like a standard slider will work, I may have to do a custom job but I thought I would check for a plug and play set first.
Thanks,
Bill

I'm fairly sure there is a Marklin lighting kit for them, in fact I may have a couple I picked up in a bulk deal last year.
I'll see if I can find them and post the item #. |
Sad when its cheaper to buy a new 29640 starter set from Germany than a CS2 on its own in Oz, welcome to the joys of Marklin down under . |

Hi, Bill,
I have the Trix version of those coaches - and they are prepared for interior lights. Only problem could be the centre rail slider, as you guessed. |

The set 73140 is for the 264 mm double stock coaches, the question is about the 303 mm double stock coaches. Did anyone install lights into the 303 mm coaches? |
