Joined: 28/01/2004(UTC) Posts: 635		Dear Märklin Friends, I've just got the new Replika of TWE 700.. I've a question for you, In the Instruction Manual, under "Functions" it tells Headlights, "changing over with the direction of travel", but in my model they aren't just because in Section 1 the lights are white and in section 2 they are red. So they aren't changing with the direction, because you're allowed only to put them off with F2 or F3. is it as it has to work or have I to send it back for replacing? Thank you in advance for any suggestion. Best regards Prof. Stefano Rocca

While the lights can be changed to be direction-dependent (using fonction mapping) the front light is white and the rear one is red and NOT colour-changing. If you look at this video from Märklin, in the last part you may see that the TWE700 runs backwards with the red lights in front. After all the original TWE700 was like this Cheets Jean

It worked on the original model, but in this Replica, it doesn't seem to have any functionality, even though it talks about Fahrrichtung. Am I right? Thanks again for your invaluable help! Stefano

Have you too got your TWE? I think it is really fascinating, something come from the first Märklin Era!! Best regards Stefano
