2008 Kiss Modellbahnen GE 6/6 Rh B RAETIA 701 loco

Let me start by staying, I was admiring the various KISS locos at Llangollen his weekend but didnt get to pick one up ! I collected this yesterday from the Auction house and immediately noticed the weight, wow Its not Brass body but the chassis is solid, nuke proof ! It has some very very basic cosmetic damage (windows fallen out) which will easily repaired,

Now comes the Help point, It came with German instructions (massoth) ( im getting delightful sounds out of it already !) and an A4 sheet (see below) that says....

die schalterstellunggen entnehmen sie folgendem bild (translated: The switch positions can be found in the following picture)....

But no picture supplied, I cant find any information about this loco online, it must be quite rare. and it has so many flick switchs on the underside, has anyone got one of these and can help ???

Im identifying these as relating to the sound



but these are the on off and panto or track options but dont seam to make any difference in either position

Though what you have looks very after-market to me..

The black round thing I would guess is the volume control..
Is the centre-off toggle switch biased, or latching?

I wonder if the toggle switches are for lights, and front/rear selection?

Update, Well I wasnt expecting to get the email i did this morning, 5 Stars ***** go to Massoth ! they emailed all the original documentation for the loco that was created back in 2008, including the missing page that helps explain all. Seams that this is not aftermarket PhilP , its just looks like this as it hand crafted. I have since watched some videos about the production (then in Korea and China) of the Kiss items, all very low volume (link to video below.) I imagine given the price of the Kiss items people assume they are bespoke created in some alpine location in a little workshop. You can really see the detail and craftmanship that goes in.



RE VIDEO: You can put subtitles on and convert them to english in the settings.
