Hi all,

Does anyone know where the RTS current conducting close couplers could presently be bought in North America?

Thanks in advance for the headsup!
Best regards,
Armando García

Thanks, but I think they don't. I've tried searching their website in vain. However, they do sell the hugely overpriced Märklin kit, which is what I what to avoid.

That's interesting. I have always found their pricing to be very competitive. Confused Sometimes it has been cheaper than Europe.

I did't mean that AJCkids' prices were high; I meant that the Marklin current-conducting coupler kits are hugely overpriced. AJCkid have very competitive prices and offer excellent customer service.

I would have made exactly the same suggestion...!
I know for sure he stocks them.
And he also has much more than just RTS couplers, with probably one of the best Märklin inventories in N.America.
Since I moved to Europe I buy the couplers from Axel Schnug: the price is much less since I buy 100 pieces at the time!
Ask him for a quote for a large quantity, you may be surprized!
