Title: Different coupling height Post by: DRS on December 31, 2017, 05:32:00 PM Can anybody help. Some years ago whilst in Florida I purchased a loco and four Norfolk and Western spectrum coaches. On return to the UK I decided to purchase an observation car and baggage car. However the coupling height on the later two have a slightly different height. There no loose parts but the construction is slightly different. Strangely the observation end mates the original coaches.
Does anyone have a useful suggestion. Many thanks. Title: Re: Different coupling height Post by: Trainman203 on January 01, 2018, 12:35:48 AM Google is your friend

Here's a couple more that don't require subscribing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JL1V1Q71mBs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JL1V1Q71mBs) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RauSgtoocGE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RauSgtoocGE) Title: Re: Different coupling height Post by: Trainman203 on January 02, 2018, 12:25:13 AM That's odd. It let me in. Although I do subscribe to MR.

Interesting info but I have 3 axel bogies with no underneath screw fitting. The coupling is linked internally to the bogie and hence turns on courners. The coupling is in a ,box, which is thicker on one. There appears no way to remove this. To dismantle the whole body to get internal access seems somewhat difficult without causing damage. |
