Hello is there some one who can tell me if there is a list that contains the factory delivery dates off loco's, wagons and cars. This list should also contain older items for example the last 3 or 4 years. Thanks for anny help in this matter.

Hey Fred, are you looking for hook and loop couplers? Can I see a picture of the type of European coupler you use?

Hello,
Thanks for reply.
Here are the couplers used by Märklin, the Roco couplers are almost the same.




Also I have BLi loco's and I would like to know if I can replace the couplers, if there are replacements at all.

Fred Vonk

Hello I live in the Netherlands and I have a question about couplers. I have bought a lot of wagons, cars and loco's with American couplers, is there a firm that makes also european couplers such as Märklin in the USA. I need those to replace for example the kadee couplers.

Thanks for your help.

I have a 4-8-4 Santa Fe. And I now know that I can run in at minimum 24" (610 mm) radius. The Locomotive came with DCC on Board but I am Putting in a DCC decoder with sound.  The decoder will be a Soundtrax decoder which has sound and DCC in all. I have to look how I should Program the address 4-digit (loco #3777) with my Prodigy Advance 2 DCC from MRC. May be there is someone that can give me some hints in this.

Hello, I bought the Telescoped Northern 4-8-4 & Tender (Operating Headlight) Road Name: Santa Fe #3777 (1940s - 1950s).
Can you tell me the minimum curve radius for this Locomotive. Can you also tell me when I purchase more locomotives in the future where I can find this.
Also I want to know if I put in a decoder with DCC and sound if I should take out the print which is already in the loco, and I do not mean the DCC decoder. The Loco will be run on DCC.

Greetings From Holland.

Oke Hunt thank you very much.

Fred

Oke Hunt thank you very much for your reply, I will put in a ESU decoder.
By the way does any one know were I can get sounds on the internet for the different diesel loco's. In particullaly for the GE Dash 8-40CW.
