Model Forum / General / Railroads / January 2007Coupling N gauge MicroTrains
I have seen couplings on N gauge US locos that are similar to the Kade style. Has anyone fitted this style known as micro train couplings to Graham Farish stock. Can anyone advise Thanks. >I have seen couplings on N gauge US locos that are similar to the Kade >style. > Has anyone fitted this style known as micro train couplings to Graham > Farish stock. > Can anyone advise It has been done, but be warned if you later decide to sell your British N-gauge models they will be worth considerably less than with their original couplings.

I'd use the "boxed" types which screw/glue under stock for this. Coaches might need some inventiveness if fixed to bogies; if running gentle curves, fix the couplings to the bodies like the prototypes ;-). Some of the newest N items in the UK come with standard coupling pockets, which can take Microtrain couplers as slot-in replacements (and thus reversable without damage). - Nigel  SignatureNigel Cliffe, Webmaster at http://www.2mm.org.uk/ |
