I wish the whole world had embraced the knuckle coupling system! Even in model form, better performance way easier to couple and uncouple rolling-stock.! In real life scale I've even seen drawbars used on short rake's of alike wagons maybe 3-5 wagons coupled to another 3-5 wagons etc. with the Knuckles on the very far ends of the rakes and drawbars inbetween!

I have used hunt magnetic couplings on my rolling stock for about a year or so. I have tested the new Hornby magnetic couplings and have found that they repel the hunt couplings due to polarity of the magnetics. If you use them you need to reverse the Hunt Coupling and then they will couple up.

@IVERJUNCTION Жыл бұрын
Thank you Clive mate I did try those accurascale ones as I have both versions on my Caledonians and TPEs the grey delnar coulpings with 2 magnets are good but not long enough to couple up to my tankers and the TPE ones have already starting pulling apart when going round my layout as they are not very strong they are great for the first 10 laps round but now started to witness them pulling apart as I am constantly running them, also the dapol class 68 and TPE coach are different in height and the solution to this issue is by using the new HORNBY 20mm vacuum pipe as the magnets are really strong and one magnet lifts up from 68 to couple up to the TPE coach very impressive and I’m so glad I purchased them from HORNBY I got a good deal on them only cost me £8 for the pack with postage due to already having £13 in rewards points, this is certainly the way forward now for me as it saves a lot of time and effort coupling and uncoupling especially with full rakes got really fed up and annoyed with NEM couplings pulling apart and derailing on the layout hope you are keeping well mate kind regards Danny 👍🏻👀👋🏻🤩

Hi Danny many thanks for sharing this video, I have a rack of Bachmann MK1's coaches with the solid vacuum coupling but as you can imagine it is a pain when you want to remove a coach and normally ends with the coaches falling on their side. Do you think these magnets are strong enough to pull a rack of seven up a helix, I welcome your comments and once again thanks for the info take care regards Barry..

Hello Barry i can honestly say they pulled my rake of six heljan BOC tankers with no effort at all and they didn’t look like they were being pulled apart, I don’t have a helix or incline on my layout unfortunately but I am confident in saying I reckon they would pull yours up a helix with no issues, with experiencing the new accurascale magnetic couplings on both my MK5 coach packs and now experiencing the new HORNBY magnetic couplings, the HORNBY versions are certainly a lot stronger through my experience, hopefully you will give these a go mate you get 8 pairs in a pack and they very strong, I am certainly going to be using more of these on all my rolling stocks kind regards Danny 👍🏻👀👋🏻🤩
