Title: Lookong for longer magnetic truck mounted couplers
Post by: larryt2 on January 26, 2023, 05:02:30 PM
A couple years ago, I purchased  Bachmann Yuletide Special N scale train set. This Christmas I set
it up. The locomotive crapped out after  couple hours. I then purchased  a Bachmann 2-6-2 loco w//tender
to replace it as the quality appeared to be much better. Problem is, the tender uses a E-Z Mate
magnetic coupler, whereas the cars in the Yuletide set are all truck mounted knuckle couplers.
I can't seem to find any Bachmann E-Z Mate truck mounted couiplers long enough to fit the cars in the set.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Did you check to see what's available from Micro-Trains?

Are the Micro=Trains couplers compatible with Bachmann's couplers?

If the Bachmann couplers are knuckle couplers they are.
