Title: Anyone offer within the society a coupler fitting service?
Post by: John Adams on August 22, 2018, 18:16
Hi All
Does anyone within the society offer a coupler fitting service? I have some wagons I would like converted to automatic uncoupling. If anyone can help or know someone who can please contact me at Jwa172001@yahoo.co.uk.

Many thanks

John Adams

If you go down this path who ever fits these couplings will need to know the type you use, the height you use and the minimum radius you use.
There is no 'standard' height and even the ready to run H0 and 009 models have different coupling heights, in many cases different on models within their own range!!

Hi Brian , thanks for replying to my posting. Yes I understand everything you have said and I would want all my rolling stock fitted to couplers at the same time.

Thanks again
John

In answer to the original question, No, there isn't! But like kit and layout building services there is probably someone out there willing to do it, it's just that you need to ask in the right places. This forum only has a very small percentage of Society members as members so the first thing I'd do if I were you is rattle of a letter for publication in the News which gets to everyone. Then look at widening your request by posting on other model railway forums, I'd suggest RMWeb and NGRM to start with.
