I have a Bachmann On30 set, and I need to replace several couplers. How do I know which to order, i.e. center, over, under-shank; short, medium, long shaft? Thanks
Dear MK,
Most are medium length. Check similar cars to determine which shank position.
Have fun!

Thanks but how do I know what I'm looking at? That is, what is the shank? Is it the piece of steel that meets the block-like thing? So if it's on top, that's called a "over shank" or what? Is there a diagram somewhere that explicitly defines this? I assume that all the couplers have to be the same type in order to mate properly.
Take a look at www.kadee.com
You'll find all the information you'll need.
Excellent! Thanks!
