It is important to ensure that all your Lincs couplers are at the same height. In the "rest" position, they should be in contact with the bottom of the buffer beam (assuming a "normal" height beam) and the bit that projects outside the buffer beam must be horizontal with the hook end at 45 degrees to the vertical. To achieve this, the armature can be bent or parts of the underframe trussing can be removed, depending upon the configuration of your wagon underframe (see attached photos, which are of 4mm scale wagons, but the principle applies in all scales), If anyone has problems fitting or operating the Lincs AutoCoupler, DO feel free to email me for advice.

Hello folks. If you would like more details of the Lincs AutoCoupler, please email me at Richard_syms@btinternet.com. Richard

Hello everybody. Thanks for your e-mails. I have only just taken over the Lincs couplers from Ray Hodson who previously marketed them. The couplings are suitable for both 4mm and 7mm scales, with different dimensions for each scale. The etchings, however, are common to both scales. The current situation is that I have some of the components in stock, but with the crucial exception of the etchings, which Ray had sold to exhaustion. I am currently investigating the state of the artwork and looking for an etcher, so please be patient. The couplers WILL come back on the market as soon as possible and I will be making announcements here and in the modelling press in due course. I will also post further news on here. Thank you for your interest. Richard Syms
