Hi I am new to Bachmann trains. Can someone tell me if the Bachmann couplings arecompatible with OO Gauge Hornby and Lima trucks and carriages and if not how can I use the Bachmann trucks on my Hornby layout.
Thanks Bob
Hi;
Bachmann's OO train models, available in the UK have couplers compatible with other manufacturers such as Hornby's offering.
Bachmann's HO train models have a different style of couplers, which are compatible with the USA standard Kadee and other couplers.
This is Bachmann's USA website, they also have a UK website, where you can probably find better answers to your questions.

Translation.
Trucks = Freight cars not the four wheeled things the freight cars ride on. Bogies = North American trucks.
Carriages = Passenger cars.
Hope that helps. ;D
