Coupling sets of EFE '38 /'59 /'62 stock together

Recommended Posts

I'm running quite a few sets of '38 stock (Tenshodo powered not the new efe rail version).

Since I embarked on this madness I've been puzzling how to remotely join a 4 car set to a 3 car set without the hand of God...

Success today.  Bit of trouble making sure that the 'whisker' was above juice rail but Dapol N gauge magnetic couplers fitted, tested and working.

I even powered two units pulling away from each other - couplings are good!

only down side is they are really small to fit.

I simply removed the dummy coupling, glued in a Dapol N gauge NEM pocket, let it set and plugged in a medium magnetic coupling.

With medium couplings it runs through a medium peco crossover with no problems.

Might need long couplings on really tight curves, but I don't have any tight curves.
