Sorry I don’t know if I’m in the right place or not and I know this question has probably been asked a thousand times. I also looked in the search section and nothing came up. So please be easy on me cause I’m new here.[:)]
I have a ton of Tyco and Bachmann engines from all years and most all run pretty good. The biggest thing is some have broken couplers that I would like to replace so I can pull stuff. Also some of course have some horns broke off the top. Can anybody tell me where to look for these couplers??[?] I know ebay has Tyco up all the time but I hate to pay for complete engines (average price 10+) just to get those couplers
Thanks in advance for any help that you can give
GNRR, glad you dropped by but might try the Modle Railroader forum on Trains.com. This is more to the O and S trains. The MR Forum is HO and etc.
GNRR -
The couplers you seek are called X2F or horn-hook couplers, (sometimes wrongly called NMRA couplers). They are very inexpensive but often hard to come by on their own. Try Ebay or do a Google search to find a vendor.
You might consider switching to Kadee couplers for your equipment (Similar couplers are also available from McHenry, Accumate and Bachman) as they are more realistic looking, operate much better and can be uncoupled with a magnet.
Chief is right, though, you will probably find more answers on the Model Railroader forum. Most of us are toy train nuts in S and O guages. Good luck!
