John-r Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Fair play lads, two really cracking looking liverys, AND you had everything but the kitchen sink thrown at you World 🌎 wise as well as the complex TPE livery. Well I have ordered the tpe set since day one, left it to late for a Caledonian set, but I'm sure one will turn up. Great work lads 👍 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the 92 wont have to wait as long (assuming they all get sent out before the mk5s)! 😬 How does the Class 68 couple to the Mk5? Is there a tension lock or a NEM adapter in similar style to the Chaldon? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. It has been mentioned officially that they'll come with a matching magnetic delner coupling as per the coaches for your loco. Obviously it's your choice whether you fit it or go for an alternative if you're likely to use the loco on other carriages and wagons. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the 68 couplers suffer with a bit of brewer's droop too. They are at the right height when horizontal, they just don't tend to be. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are at the right height when horizontal, they just don't tend to be. Can be fixed by gluing in the supplied plough/ object deflector and a bit of plasticard to make the deflector support the coupling better. Main issue is droop of the CC mechanism which is not unique to this model… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it's your choice whether you fit it or go for an alternative if you're likely to use the loco on other carriages and wagons. I would think it is more difficult in 4mm (heavier stock) but I have several Kato N gauge EMU sets from the 90”s which have tiny scale size (as good as it gets) delner couplings which “click” fasten together, it’s a nice feature and when I first saw them was really pleased and surprised. Its a great upgrade to the poor line up of 4mm coupling types. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
