Hi, received 4 carriages of the Silberlinge including 1 cab car, very detailed but the interior luggage rack is a disaster, you just have to touch it and it breaks off, why do they do produce a product you more or less can't touch, by adding people you have to be extremely careful not to touch the luggage rack which is above the seat, another issue was the cab car didn't have any window wipers supplied with., the cab car has a Motorola decoder with number 3 and it activates, headlights front and rear, cab light, interior light is already installed, you've got an option either AC or DC, it doesn't say anything in the users manual except the functions which are available.

Here are some pictures of the Silberlinge, the handrails and steps are all metal, you also got curtains attached, the cars are all 303mm long, they supply a pick up shoe

Did you changed the wheels too?
ESU offer ac wheels too.
I did tested pick up shoe and dc wheel, it does not jumps on the K-turnouts 22715/22716.
Just slight hick up because of the dc wheels.

John, I would try removing the slider and see if it derails. Do the coupler guides slide freely?

As Goofy asked, I also would try ac wheels in case you didn’t do it yet.

Yes!
Rocos short couples are 2mm extra in length and it´s difference if you use curve radie R2 (2231).
