Some of you may be aware that I own the 39971 and 39972 catenary maintenance railcars.

One of the problems with these railcars is that the couple pocket is mounted much lower than on normal Marklin locos. So if you insert normal couplers, especially relex couplers they will jam on the center rail studs when the loco travels in reverse..

The 39971 comes with a drawbar that is used to tow a small wagon, as shown in the picture below:

The 39972 does not come with a drawbar (or at least mine didn't), so I would like to get one. The problem is that it is not listed on the parts list. Does any one have a suggestion about getting hold of one?

Hi!

Found the answer on Stummi's Forum:
http://www.stummiforum.d...pic.php?p=564882#p564882

Add an E to get the current number: "E138134" is in stock at Märklin, €6 for a bag with two drawbars.
Any Märklin dealer should be able to order them for you.
Regards
Tom
