MGR Hooper! Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Hey, I am not sure what these couplings are called, all I know is that they are used mainly on European HO scale models and most recently Hornby Mk3 coaches and Bachmann DMUs. I have absolutely no idea what they're called and haven't found them for sale at any of my usual haunts. I'm looking for a supplier for these either in The UK or a bulk supplier in China.

Dungrange Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 The look similar to the Marklin 72060 type available from Gaugemaster https://www.gaugemasterretail.com/magento/marklin-mn72060.html However, these Evemodel couplers look more similar to your picture (I've never heard of Evemodel before, but found them from a search for 'H0 NEM Hook and Loop'). https://www.amazon.co.uk/Evemodel-Couplers-Couplings-Knuckle-Spring/dp/B089Q6KF3G 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted June 11, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) For some reason Bachmann call them DMU couplings despite them being suitable for any stock. There's a straight version and a cranked version. Kernow have them in stock (though only 4 packs of straight). https://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/p/27926/36-055-Bachmann-DMU-Couplings-Straight https://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/p/27927/36-056-Bachmann-DMU-Couplings-Cranked Edited June 11, 2021 by Metr0Land 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamThomas Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 How many do you want ? I've got loads of them - send me a PM if you are interested. Let's see if the pendants can come up with some extraineous comments. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because the only UK prototype stock they supply (Afair) that used them, are the 1st gen DMU’s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you mean 'pedants' rather than 'pendants' and 'extraneous' rather than 'extraineous'. Yes, I know I'm being pedantic - I just can't help it when people make these comments. 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I saw Evemodel ones on AliExpress 5 hours ago, Metr0Land said: For some reason Bachmann call them DMU couplings despite them being suitable for any stock.

Il Grifone Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Australians call them, "Dunny Seats". I can't think why! There are several variants differing mainly in operating height, uncoupling method (ramp or magnetic), and whether they allow delayed uncoupling. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
