Bachmann 25 - long coupling

Recommended Posts

Hello - I have been donated a Bachmann Class 25/2 (32-411) to be sold with the proceeds going to  “Trains4Charity”
 

Although the loco is boxed and otherwise mint the previous owner removed the original couplings and screwed part of a Kadee in place - according to the exploded diagram in the box the part should be serial number 400-030 but this brings up nothing on Google.

 

Could anyone provide me with an alternative product code or do they have one spare I might purchase please

A Google search with Kadee in as well brought up this:

 

https://therailwayconductor.co.uk/shop-by-brand-kadee/product/kadee-kde19-nem362-european-coupler-long-10-76mm-2-pairs-00-h0-gauge

 

The description includes The Kadee® Magne-Matic® coupler head with the swallow-tail shank to lock in the NEM-362 draft gear pocket. NEM 362 Long Coupler 10.76mm (.400")

 

Could the "400" be associated with the 0.400" measurement?

Alternatively, ask the management if OK to offer it here, in case the easy option happens to be available: a purchaser for whom the absence of the original couplers is no problem .


Because all sale proceeds are going to the charity account I cannot just sell off items on things like forums as I don’t know where to set a value.

 

If I’m unable to source a replacement part then it has to go on the charity secondhand stall at the next show (2021) and see what someone offers there

I convert all my own stock to Kadee but what this person did was remove the Bachmann hook coupling, drill a hole in the chassis  and with a small self tapping screw attach a long shank #5 style coupler head minus draft gearbox into place. It’s either locked solid or flops around like a fish out of water so no use to anyone.

 

This is the older 25/2 which doesn’t have NEM coupler pockets but rather screwed on hook/loop couplings.

Sorry Karl, you misunderstood my point because I wasn't clear enough. The 0.400" refers to a measurement the does not depend on the mounting type, it is the measurement shown on the picture below which is probably a mounting agnostic measurement.
