Bob S Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Hi guys, got a question. I am putting some 3D printed locomotive bodies on Bandai or Kato n scalemotorized chassis (chasses?) . The chasses have pockets for the standard Rapido type n scale couplers. Does anyone make a coupler that is narrow gauge "tension lock", but with a rapido end that would fit into an n scale coupler pocket? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveS Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Any thought on using Kadee n scale couplers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Nile Posted March 24, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 24, 2020 Looks like the answer is no. It could be the standard Rapido mount has too much vertical play for a Bemo coupling to work reliably. I think a custom design 3D printed may be the only option.

RMweb Premium Nile Posted March 27, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 27, 2020 Just spotted this, Rapido can be adapted to work with Bemo: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
