The Tillig Bahn 85501 Metal Rail Joiners are precision-engineered track connectors designed to provide secure rail alignment and reliable electrical continuity in model railway layouts. Commonly referred to as fishplates in South Africa, these metal joiners slide snugly onto the ends of TT scale rails to mechanically secure track sections while ensuring stable power transfer across joints.

Manufactured by Tillig Modellbahnen for TT Scale systems, they are widely used in both layout construction and ongoing maintenance due to their durability and consistent electrical performance.
