Title: Coupling on Bachmann Fairlie
Post by: Tony Clarke on May 14, 2024, 14:31
I have fitted Greenwich NEM couplings to my Bachmann Fairlie and they extend too far from the loco. Has anyone found a way of fitting Greenwich couplings and maintaining a sensible distance between the loco and the next waggon?

If you do not use the coupling loop on the Greenwich coupling, may I suggest you look at the RT Models brass FR chopper coupling?
I have used the Penrhyn type that RT produces and I am very impressed and it also is closer to the loco (Nesta) than the Bachmann ones.
