I never even opened the draw bars for my 4228 set, just left them in the box. The current conducting close couplers do add a slightly larger gap between coaches, but the overall handling of the set is much easier (to be able to take the cars apart easily). -Brandon

The number is E272140 (RRP €6 for a bag of four).

I need to replace mine. Thanks. Well it would be nice if you'd introduce yourself first, no? (Something called "common courtesy"..) You can find these parts under the following number Märklin 239550 Cheers

It's been a longtime I didn't handle my two Gluckauf sets , if my memory still serves me, I remember, but I'm not sure, that if we want to install interior lighting with current conducting couplers, we have to replace the NEM Pocket part of the coupler, is it true ?

Here's a picture: The two cars in front have the power conducting coupler 272140 (there's no power to conduct yet ...), the two at the back have the standard couplers: Others don't care about the extra mm that come with standard couplers ...

THANK YOU But if you want to conduct power, you'll need to replace the NEM Pocket fork because there is no hole for the conducting copper insert (if you want something clean with regular Marklin parts)... Is it true ? Otherwise it is possible to make a kind of DIY mountage with solder of wires...not very aesthetic solution .
