Broken coupling

[robertcurtis]

I bought a second-hand job lot of Graham Farish wagons recently that included a tank wagon with a missing or broken coupling, thinking it would be easy to fix. However both the coupling and the pocket it sits in are missing - the latter I don’t think is available as a spare part.

 

Any advice on how I could fix this would be much appreciated.

Check out  Peco  ( easiest  way  is  via  a  dealer  website  )  they  most  likely  do  pockets  and spare  couplings  easy  job  I think  to  attach pockets  with  adhesive

 

If no  luck  with Peco  try  Dapol

 

You  could  of  course   claim  a  partial  refund  and  return  the  wagon  to the  seller  (assuming  eBay?)

Find someone who has replaced their couplings with Dapol or DG types, who will have ripped these pockets off

 

I think I might even have one or two of this type in a bits box somewhere that I could pop in the post if you'd like?

Hi

 

I converted all my old Peco and Farish Wagons to NEM pockets using the Dapol conversion kit, the Peco ones were easier to do though as the chassis base was already at the correct height, the Farish wagons needed quite a bit of work to get to coupling at the correct height.

It might be worth asking the Bachmann spares department. The worst they can say is no (they have to me before), but they can also be very helpful.

Robert, I have some spare pockets . Let me know if you still need it.

That would be amazing if you could, I’ll send you a direct message.

It wasn’t described as broken, but I had spotted the missing coupling beforehand. So I am culpable
