RPNaylor0301 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Morning all, Hopefully a quick question - are the Farish 57s (2014 onward) supplied with traditional couplings, or just the detailing parts and NEM pockets? From reading the service sheet for 'Pride of Crewe' it seems to be the latter, but I could do with confirmation... Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From reading the service sheet for 'Pride of Crewe' it seems to be the latter, but I could do with confirmation... Cheers! All Farish locos and rolling stock are supplied with traditional (rapido style) couplers. How they are fitted to the vehicle is dependant on when it was designed/manufactured and are generally either by the older style integral spring box or the later NEM pocket. Nonetheless couplers can be removed from both. The class 57 won't just have NEM pockets and dummy/detailing parts but will include suitable rapido couplers. However if they are missing or lost it is possible to easily purchase replacements. G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPNaylor0301 Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 Top man, thank you! As an aside, none of the service sheets seem to detail removing a coupling from a NEM pocket. Is it a simple matter of pulling it out, or am I over simplifying? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonas Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 No, you just pull it out. Simple as that! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPNaylor0301 Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 Cheers! Will have a go later (not used to all of this new stuff... Most of my stock is Poole era farish!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
