It was not something that was available separately. You would have to check with Maerklin or maybe APC-Adams or Ritter Restauration for the parts. Did your model not come with the set up? I'm trying to remember whether my brother's set (1971) came with lighting or whether we had to add the bulbs and the diffusers ourselves. The other model I have is the 3471 which came with lighting. https://www.ebay.de/itm/...wagen-3071/323778847811? https://www.ebay.de/itm/...n-RAm-3070/323772429153? https://www.ebay.de/itm/...schenwagen/323802445016?

So the interior lightning can be easily added with spare-parts. In the Märklin - magazine 1/1979 instructions were published including the spare-part numbers needed. mm-1979-1.pdf (1,255kb) downloaded 138 time(s). Regards Markus

Thanks, Gary

Regards Mike C Mike, Excellent find! Thank you, Gary Mike, The 3071 didn't come with interior lighting but the 4071 wagon did. I got these sets on Ebay recently so I dont know who did what to the train. Looking at my old 1978 catalog the Norhlander train came with interior lighting but the TEE RAM didn't. Gary

Hope it provides ideas to aid in your LED light conversions. Edited by user 01 January 2025 23:54:03(UTC)  | Reason: Link corrected 02-01-2025

John Only the TEE train in that photo is using incandescent bulbs. All the other trains in that photo have LED lighting boards with either white, soft white, or yellow LEDs. My trains are old and don't have electrical contact couplers so running power conductors through the train to reduce the number of wagons with pickup shoes was the tricky part.

The top photo shows the TEE RAm with LED lighting boards and the bottom photo shows the vintage incandescent interior lighting system. The LED intensity is adjustable. I have the intensity turned up to about 90% of the adjustable range. The incandescent bulbs appear brighter in the photo than they actually are.
