I want to order a new roof for 37770, the Flying Hamburger. I found it at Marklin.de's spare parts page and can place it into the shopping cart. When I go to check out, I do not get an option to select United States as the destination country. Any suggestions? TIA |

With the exception of the passenger wagens with Marklin current conducting couplers, all close couplers have been replaced with Roco 40397. |

TIA Hi Matt, In the USA you need to order thru your authorized Marklin dealer who then orders the part(s) thru Walthers in WI which is the importer for Marklin. If you don't have a USA dealer you can find one at Marklin.com, the USA website. I use an online dealer in Germany mostly but it won't pay to pay the shipping on just one part unless you order other stuff too. It could take quite a while to get it via a US dealer because Walthers only gets shipments from Marklin every couple of months. Good luck,Peter In Germany I use Lokshop In the USA I use Helmut's Hobby Specialties They both have websites and give excellent service.

Hi again Matt, I have tried Anders' idea with Marklin but they just tell me to go thru my authorized dealer
and Walthers in the US. Peter

I suspected I had to go through Walthers when USA was not an option. I've been waiting a month for some current conducting couplers because the plug in drawbar is such a pain. Looks like there isn't much inventoried in Wisconsin. Thank you all for the replies. |

You could also try to get the parts from Lokshop.de... At least ask them for it... They ship to customers worldwide.
In fact most German online dealers are willing to ship spare parts also to the US. |

Welcome to forum. Try Mike at www.euromodeltrains.com, he usually got some stuff in stock and if not, he can order for you from Germany. |

Sometimes for small stuff (parts) you can find it on ebay.de and if the seller will ship to the USA, you can normally get an OK postage rate. I know when I search eBay for international listings, I can find the current conducting close couplers from a few sellers at a given time. Mind you the postage rate is probably high for a single part, but it could be a lot worse. I myself am looking around for four sets for the same couplers, but waiting until my budget recovers from my recent purchases of 3312 and 3304 locs on ebay. ;)

I would go with Lokshop, Kramm or one of the other well known and reliable German shops. Part orders from US dealers still have to go through Walthers.

Nev, you have to be the only Markin customer with such a privileged customer / dealer relationship. You have the luck of the Devil.  |

Hi, I have a set of Rheingold coaches (4228). Do you or anyone know if the above mentioned conducting couplers will replace the conducting drawbars between these coaches and if so what is the part number please ? Regards, Colin.

Colin,
The part number is 72021. I am also looking to see if I can use these on the 4228 Rheingold set. Looking at the design, I don't see why it wouldn't work. I believe you'd just end up with some spare parts, as the couplers themselves is all you would need since the the Rheingold coaches are already internally wired. Each 72021 contains two couplers, enough to convert one car. The Rheingold has 5 cars, but the front and rear cars each have a coupler on the end. Therefore, only a quality of four 72021 would be required.

Colin, either 72020 or 72021 will work. They are both the same price at Walthers. I think the 72020 has less conversion parts. I have converted some trains so that all cars have Current conducting couplers. Some I have used the solid bar every 2nd car as at $ a car, I rather buy track! All. Keep hasseling Wathers and/ or the local dealer.  Walthers has been building up inventory but I totally agree that small spare parts do not need to wait for the next big shipment. The more we North American Marklinists hassel them, the more they will meet our needs. THere are a few dealers in NA that may have the spare in stock. Phone around too. |

Hi,
If you are in the USA and have complains about Walthers contact Michelle at Marklin dot com. She
deals with them all the time and her office is there now. Märklin spare parts now have a capital E in front of the part number. This is the German word for spare parts i.e. Ersatzteile. Peter
