European style couplers for Rivarrossi passenger cars?

[karmakreations]

Does any one know where I can get the european style loop and hook couplers for Rivarrossi passenger cars?[?] I have a large collection of Rivarrossi passenger trains and am converting them to the european style couplers. I have one set that came with them and it is the only train that can run for hours unattended with out loosing a car or two. [:D] The european style couplers were packed in with the some cars as optional couplers when the cars were originaly sold.
I have ben converting some of the sets by cutting off the old solid knuckle coupler and CA ing the european style coupler on to it. But I have several sets that are pretty rare and I dont like to do anything to them that cant be undone later. [B)] I have been checking Ebay and some of my friends in europe but have not found a source yet.
Thanks

Bob,

Are you talking about NEM-couplers or the old fashion ones?

If you mean the old ones I could ask my LHS if they still has some and send them to you.
But even here in Europe (Netherlands) it’s getting harder and harder to get the Riva/Lima stuff since they are more or less out of business. (Although rumors go maybe the English PECO will take the Riva/Lima group over)

If you talk about NEM-couplers you got several compatible couplers of other European brands, like Roco or Marklin.

Let me know if you want me to look over here.
