Product Information

with my layout is that I have both circuits on a big long 3.5m straight, but on the return leg, they form a kind of a bow tie shape, which creates the space which I will slip my computer desk into. This means that even on my 2nd radius circuit, there are some

as tight in this respect), you will find that it is often very difficult to couple up wagons on the curve - especially those with a longer wheelbase. Often, the coupling hooks end up on the wrong side of each other - causing derailments at a later point. Sometimes, I have seen a handful of B-mann wagons that come fitted with Kadee couplers [these - http://www.expressmodels.co.uk/acatalog/kadee-5cm-menu.jpg] I'm not sure why though, those are popular internationally, but not generally used by UK modellers.One common problem that I have come across is that some coupling hooks (particularly on the older Airfix clip-in couplings, that Hornby still use with some wagons) are longer than others, so that when a pair of wagons are coupled together, the will eventually get around to retooling the Mk 3, but the blue box brigade have taken on the Mk 2 so I suspect it won't be long before they have a go at the Mk3 as well.

Hornby trains come undone from Hornby wagons etc.... The B4CHM4NN couplings also actually sit every so slightly higher up than the Hornby ones. I have tried switching the things around and trying all variations but the bottom line is that the only train i Thanks for both of your extensive replies and I think I definitely see a solution here; Namely, buy the old style NEM couplings. For some, the fun in building up a model train layout lies in its development and overcoming the problems If the value of the goods is diminished by any amount as a result of handling of the goods by the consumer beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods, the trader may recover that amount from the consumer, up to the contract price.

As previously stated they have metal wheels for the 3 rail system and Dublo couplings. Really to change either/both the bogies need to be removed. They are held by rivets through the wagon floor which have to be drilled out. The coupling rivets can be forced out by a suitable pin (I use a reversed drill bit) in a press or drilled out. Replacedments acn then be bolted on ensuring they are at the correct height. The wheels are released by lifting the tinplate tags which hold bearing plate in place and then fitteing the insulated replacements ideally with pin point bearings. These will need a special short axle.Yes, the B4CHM4NN and the Hornby couplings are very similar, but they don't like each other and to be honest, they don't even like themselves. designs) can have the couplers attached in a verity of different ways, such as older clip-in systems (a bit like NEM, but not - http://www.wonderlandmodels.com/media/managed/large/r8099.jpg), attached with rivets or screws, or of course moulded-on. This mounting was carried on by Mainline when they took over the Airfix, GMR (Great Model Railways) range.
