Senalizacion Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Why are the NEM couplings so low - loco is virtually useless as it will not couple to other stock . Superb in every other respect. Surly there is a model railway OO standard for NEM style coupling heights? Extremely cheesed off given the price. Any one else had the problem and if so what have you done to resolve?

Il Grifone Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 The NEM standard is here (in French I'm afraid). https://www.morop.org/downloads/nem/fr/nem362_f.pdf Off-centre couplings are available I believe, but my solution would be to chop the lot off and fit the coupling direct. For tension locks a wire loop should be adequate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Hroth Posted May 6, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 6, 2020 I have had Heljan locos with "low" NEM sockets. These came with cranked tension lock couplings in the accessory packet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a published standard for 00 NEM pockets from DOGA, http://www.doubleogauge.com/standards/couplings.htm which essentially copies the MOROP H0 standard. But DOGA have no power to enforce the standard so some manufacturers use it, some don't and some do some of the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
