Re: 4-4-0 front coupler

[Ayden]

Dear Bachmann,
I am a big fan of your trains and one specific train, that being the jupiter. But the knuckle being on the plow for the jupiter kind of changes the authenticity of the train. So in conclusion, can you take away the front knuckle on the plow on jupiter just like your previous jupiter variant?
Thanks

Hi Ayden,

I split off your question from the topic about our website. The front coupler can be removed from the HO 4-4-0 Jupiter by removing the screw underneath the cowcatcher, and pulling the coupler out.

Better for the user to remove the coupler instead of having the manufacturer making everyone else have to add a coupler to have an operable useful locomotive.
