Il Grifone Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 They seem to be an early example of the dreaded 'tension lock', but intended to work downwards (sensible). As to how well they work, I wouldn't know, as this is the first time I've seen them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

roythebus Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Nice to see that at that early date they were mixing imperial and metric measurements in the instructions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertiedog Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Long pick up on this thread, but never seen this post, must have been whilst ill, yes those couplings work fine but rely on the buffers for pushing them. We had some wagons with them on at Hamblings and there were the remains of the stock in the bottom of a box of Sayer parts and Electric signals. I did experiment with them and all was fine, but used large radius track in case the buffer locked. Never seen the instructions before now. I cannot see why the hook has the insert, a plain bend in the wire would do just as well, Stephen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
