About this deal

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 became law on 01 October 2015, replacing three major pieces of consumer legislation - the Sale of Goods Act, Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations and the Supply of Goods and Services Act. the moment weeding out my older large style coupling items, intending to replace them with finer ones where easily possibly. Because I don't like and haven't got the time for messy jobs, I shall put difficult items up for sale. The large ones just do not go The problem with fitting the narrower coupling (R8099) to the Hornby Mk3 and Mk2 coach is that it makes them more prone to derailing on points and curves. They look slightly better than the big coupling, but don't actually give a closer Sarah's advice regarding the wagons with metal wheels is excellent. Before 1958 Hornby Dublo trains all had metal wheels without insulation so cannot be used on 2 rail layouts.. Triang and Trix used plastic wheels . Peco Wonderful Wagons used nylon wheels so are OK for 2 rail. Graham Farish and Triang however adopted a hook and bar type where a vertical hook dropped over a horizontal loop or bar. The two different types would not couple together reliably so users had to choose one or the other.

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. Narrow. It is ONLY the fact that the hook won't drop to engage that is the issue, which is what I assume the spring is for ... 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. It would be great if somebody else has managed to find an easy solution that doesn't invlove cutting up the coach. Maybe Hornbythen guling an NEM slot in various positions to try and achieve a closer fit between coaches. You can get a nice close fit on a train standing still but as soon as you start moving on points or curves then everything starts to derail. The coaches are very that arise, but for me, as TheDoc suggested, the attraction for me is in having it as a toy to play with. for now, but how long will that last? They've been phased out from new model designs, you won't be able to get spares forever. That said, Matt is running stuff on very tight curves, so it might actually be a good idea for him. It'll just be a pain if you have If the wagons are only intended as scenery and not to be hauled in a train then personally I wouldn't bother to mess about with the couplings. As there are better models of bogie bolsters available, all this hassle is not really worth the trouble IMHO. These are really for collectors or Dublo fans (like myself).

The consumer (you) may cancel the sale at any time in the cancellation period without giving any reason, and without incurring any liability except under these provisions— 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. If you are going to standardise couplers (not a bad idea for you, as problems are worse with tight curves!) then switch everything to the small type, not the large. Large couplers won't be around forever, using them only would just be storing up problems for the future.

the wagons refuse to couple unless you slam them into each other - hardly great for realistic shunting. In contrast the wide metal couplings that Tri-ang/Hornby produced, and the plastic ones on the Railroad range work much better on curves. Modern metal wheels do have insulation between the wheel and axle so are fine on two rail (apart from a rogue Collett coach it seems mentioned in a recent post) . The Hornby R8099 coupling assembly is a direct fit into the mounting system originally used by the Airfix RTR models.
