Märklin 7164 Replacement Current Collector Skid Shoe for HO Triebwagen Railcars, 1 Piece

This replacement current collector is the exact part needed to restore reliable power pickup on many Märklin HO railcars. Unlike generic skid shoes, the 7164 is shaped for Märklin's 3-rail AC system and drops straight into the factory mount without filing or bending.

Highlights

• Direct replacement for worn or damaged skid shoes
• Compatible with Märklin H0 3-rail AC centre-rail pickup
• Metal contact with plastic carrier for consistent sliding pressure
• One piece per pack – order the quantity you need

In daily use

Install the 7164 when a railcar hesitates, flickers its lights, or loses sound over turnouts. The metal shoe glides on the centre studs, maintaining electrical contact through curves and switches. Because it is a factory spare, the mounting geometry matches the original part, so no modification is required.
