i recently purchased Bachmann Amtrack N scale 85' passenger cars, they came with the old style couplers, i want to change to knuckle couplers, this is what is shown on the bachman site, but i cant find them in the parts catalog. does Bachmann make these? where do i get them?

Jack,
Those don't work on the Amfleets. They have a long extension that pivots at the truck pin. The new version of that part really needs to be made available. We have a bunch of the units from last year that are left over that nobody will buy at any price because the new cars have knuckles. Every Amtrak loco available currently has knuckle couplers on it and no way to switch back to rapido's so the rapido equiped cars are useless.

I'll pass this along to production.
Thanks!
