What you have there are the coupler pockets (Deichsel) for the American Streamliner coaches, and the retaining / contact plates (Kontakblech) for them. I am always on the lookout for the 579120's as they are easily broken (like the two out of the bag), especially when using the the drawbar style version of current conducting couplers. Cheers, Gordon

Yes, that is definitely the way to go with the Streamliners . Cool that the new sets come with RTS, the next time our Zephyr set gets run, it will be getting them as well

Any clues on the contact plate spare Roger
