Hey! I bought lots of life like cars for my new bachmann dcc equipped engine. The only problem is that my dcc engine has different couplers from the life like coaches. I tried to couple them anyways but they wont stay coupled. Any ideas on how to convert one side of one coach of the life like coaches so that they can all couple? This means I will have one coach with one E-Z Mate II coupler on one side and a life like coupler on the other.
Use Kadee couplers. kadee has an ho scale coupler conversion list. The best thing to do is body mount with KD #5 coupler. Kd is the best coupler on the market. They say to use #28 truck mounted. EMD GP-38-2 .........................New 33 BM, Old 28 TM
