Not sure when it will arrive though! Now with everything connected up and registered on my CS3 I turn the lights on. All of the coaches have grey interiors except the 43660 which is a cream colour. Should this be cream or should it be grey? Could someone else have a look at theirs, please? If it should be grey does anyone know what shade of grey Markin uses?n The problem with the cream is that with the lights on the interior is very bright compared to the other coaches. Many thanks Adrian

Both interiors are cream. I have the older shorter start up series and the second class coach is blue inside. The older first class coach is dark gray inside.

From what I see it is cheap plastic of whatever colour they have at that time. I repaint the inside with some detail ie the floor is not the same colur as the seats etc. I had an ESU coach which was slightly better regarding the interior but the high cost is not worth buying.
		Take care I like Marklin and will defend the worlds greatest model rail manufacturer.

From what I have been able to learn, the Bvmkz 856 are former coaches from the DBAG DB Touristik Tourist Train. (See Maerklin 43878/879). The interior may have different colors than the regular DBAG IC stock coaches. http://www.railfaneurope...61_80_84-90_912-5_K1.jpg http://www.railfaneurope...tikzug/Bvmkz856_HHML.jpg Interior: http://www.railfaneurope...g/touristenzug2000_3.jpg http://www.railfaneurope...g/touristenzug2000_3.jpg Here is the interior of a Avmz108 (upgraded Avmz207) but still first class (two versions): http://www.railfaneurope...61_80_19-91_114-7_i1.jpg http://www.railfaneurope...07-108-106/110226-35.jpg Regards Mike C
