Accurascale Cemflo. Step 3 - Couplings. Entry posted by Mick Bonwick May 3, 2019 431 views Share More sharing options... Followers 1 Not a weathering post, I know, but I thought that I'd remove the supplied couplings and fit the cosmetic screw couplings before proceeding. They look so much better that I took a photograph. Or two. 2
RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern 26,581 Posted May 3, 2019 RMweb Gold They look nice until you try to use them, then you have the opposite effect of erectile dysfunction! Also, to be totally correct, the coupling hook needs to be one that is spaced off the buffer beam, Mr Franks can help. (with the coupling hook, not ED!). 1 Link to comment
RMweb Gold Mick Bonwick 12,082 Posted May 3, 2019 RMweb Gold This is a weathering exercise, so functionality is not paramount. I understand the problem with the couplings and it's a shame about that, but I wonder how many of these could be placed in a train before the superglue gave way. I'm not in a position to test the theory, but from some of the posts I've seen there must be a few people around who can check it. Link to comment
RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern 26,581 Posted May 3, 2019 RMweb Gold I've had sixty odd minerals being dragged round with superglued couplings with out drama, but I must admit i drill and pin the coupling shaft behind the buffer beam nowadays. Mike. 1 Link to comment
