Title: Microtrains coupler for NW2
Post by: Scot_O on December 13, 2014, 09:21:23 PM
Does anyone know what Microtrains coupler works with the new NW2?  Mine runs beautifully, but won't couple with my rolling stock.

My thought would be to try Micro-Trains 001-02-003 (1015-1) universal body mount short shank couplers.  Have a couple of small hobby files, small slot screwdriver, and Micro-Trains drill & tap set with pin-vise available.  Most likely, you will need to remove the Bachmann coupler pocket to fit the Micro-Train couplers and attach with screws included with the Micro-Trains couplers (also shims are included if needed).  Both my NW2 swichers are Kato, so this is just a guess since no one else has responded.
