Noticed however that the lighting that Marklin says go with these is 7330. Why not use the new lighting kit 73411 which I already have a few. Appreciate difficult to answer but perhaps I need to add the older set 7330 to the order. Dave
		Take care I like Marklin and will defend the worlds greatest model rail manufacturer.

I suspect also that the new lighting 73411 could be adapted without any issues except possibly having to shorten the LED bar (no big deal). Last 7330 is a very old device which I have banned from my layout (no bulbs nowhere). They keep on dying, they draw a lot of current, key melt plastic parts so I replace ALL of them with LEDs. Cheers Jean

Cheers Jean Thanks for that. I could not see any reason why to use an old set and anyway I often use the Viessmann light bars. However if Marklin cant come up with coaches more than 18 months after advertising them I will maybe have a look at Roco if they do a simlar item. Thanks Jean Dave

Thanks Jean Dave Hallo , I would definitely go with Roco , Märklin ones are obsolete and interior is scarce simply inhabitable! Or go with LS-Models Regards , Marklineisenbahn
