Big Hauler Coupler

What kind of coupler is available for the Bachmann Big Hauler front dummy coupler so that I can double head?

Hi,
Years ago I posted some articles on how I did it. It is very straight forward but does require a bit of cutting and filling.
Here are some links to those articles.

This link is the photos which went with the original article which might be easier to see.

I loved doublheading and always doubleheaded my 4 coach passenger train and many freights as well.  I posted a video of two of my 4-6-0 going thru an Aristo Wide Radius crossover to test how it worked. I always went much slower when operating.

Someone said this will work with R1 tighter switches but I will not guarantee it.  There must be better ways to do it, but this worked for me. I have never liked how far out they extended tho.

Hope this gives you some idea how to do it.

Forgot to mention I used the low cost Harbor Freight two part epoxy and after all these years it is holding up fine.
