Title: McKinley Passenger Car Couplers
Post by: Scroogebhc on October 17, 2018, 12:56:52 PM
Could any member please advise how or what is needed to replace the Rapido coupler to a knuckle coupler on a McKinley passenger car.

The Micro-Trains converstion recommendations for Bachmann N-scale equipment can be found here:

The McKinley cars aren't specifically listed, so you'll need to see which of those listed it's closest too.

Many thanks for the info. I find it difficult to understand is that Bachmann still have the McKinley Explorer on sale and yet they say they have no spares for the Passenger cars.
