Title: coupler help
Post by: usernamesareannoying on January 14, 2009, 03:12:56 PM
hi all,
i've just recently started with N and after a few purchases i've come to find that there are just about as many different couplers out there as there are flavors of gum and none of them seem to work all that well.

can anyone recommend a solid coupler that i wont have any problems with and that is easy to find? if they had magnetic couplers like my sons lego trains id buy them in buckets  ;D

i should really probably be using HO as they seem a bit more forgiving in this area but i leapt in without thinking about this part of it.

any help would be appreciated.
thanks.

Micro-trains couplers are probably one of the best brands on the market. Ive recently converted all my stock to them, and they work amazingly. They are also readily availiable from places like N-Scale Supply (where i bought mine from) and many other places aswell.

http://www.micro-trains.com is there site, and there are diagrams of the couplers here http://www.micro-trains.com/Coupler%20diagrams.pdf
