Coupler problem

train cars

What’s the problem? Just showing a photo explains nothing.

The coupler at the top is what I have on most all cars but cannot keep connected. Is the bottom coupler better and how can I change couplers as one is with the truck and the bottom one is not.

Probably wondering if the two are in any way compatible. The answer to mthat is no. To be used with cars with the Micro-trains couplers the cars that have Rapido couplers must have those couplers removed and Micro-trains couplers installed.

Click on the Manufacturer of the Model you want to convert and it will tell you which one to use and more:

What you have is a Rapido coupler and a Micro Train coupler.

Choices:

Replace the Micro Train coupler with a Rapido.

Or the best choice

Replace the Rapido with a Micro Train coupler.

This is easy to do since all you do is switch out the Rapido truck/coupler for a MT truck/coupler.
