RMweb Gold Popular Post Accurascale Fran Posted January 11, 2023 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted January 11, 2023 NEW MAGNETIC AND FIXED BAR COUPLING RANGE Hi everyone, Following the arrival of our Mark 5 Sleeper coaches, we have been asked if the highly detailed, magnetic Dellner couplings could be had as an accessory pack to convert other models. Well, we anticipated your every move! We have produced three different styles to cover various styles and needs. In addition to the magnetic Dellner, we also have a fixed bar style for fixed rakes, which looks equally neat for those trains you don't wish to uncouple too often. Finally, we have our magnetic bar couplings as per the TPE Mark 5 sets (yes, there is two different coupling systems on the real Mark 5s) which are perfect for push-pull rakes. The pack of 8 magnetic Dellner and bar couplings are £9.95 per pack and the fixed Dellner is a pack of 4 which retails at £6.95 per pack. Just simply slot them into your NEM pockets and couple up. These items are due in stock at the end of this month. Pre-order below! https://www.accurascale.com/collections/couplers Cheers! Fran 21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northmoor MPD Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) I nearly fell over when I got the email saying “Accurascale new announcement” then realised it was these couplings :)…Sorry it’s January so there’s not many other exciting things happening! :) Edited January 11, 2023 by Northmoor MPD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 97406 Posted January 11, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 11, 2023 Those look potentially like a good alternative to tension lock couplings, especially if a plain version with just the 2 magnets and without the detailing was released. 2 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Vecchio Posted January 11, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 11, 2023 Terrible stuff... addictive. Couldn't help myself and pre-ordered some magnetic Dellner's. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrel Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Brilliant thank you so much Fran. I'm in the middle of converting a lima class 73 to a class 73/9 to run with my mk 5s this has just solved my problem of how to couple it to the coaches. My order went in when I got the email. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other type looks more discreet, so will try some out as I do occasionally couple things together. They have little faces, too!

Pteremy Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Will you be doing something similar for steam era coaches etc., e.g. the Siphons and Mk1 Suburbans?? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSpencer Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 You are guys are the best. I was thinking where can I get some screw link and instanter cosmetic couplings from and "boom" a nice e-mail from you showing them! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we already do 3-link and Screw Couplings in packs, as well as the Magnetic Chain Couplings, but what would you like to see us do for the Siphons and Mk1s if that isn't what you're after?

frobisher Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Just a quick question, but are the two types coupler mutually compatible (Same, height spacing and polarity etc.)? A assume they probably are but it's probably worth mentioning it. Hornby's new buckeyes and their pipe ones clearly aren't with each other but I would be pleasantly surprised if the Hornby buckeye was compatible with these (but we're in the realms of 50:50 with polarity before we get to the fairly poor chance of a physical fit but you never know).

They should. They are also polarity agnostic. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium reddragon Posted January 11, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 11, 2023 I ordered a set of bar coupling. Not sure what I'll use them on yet, but I'll see what they fit & order more if they work well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bets wishes, Paul. Magnetic that looks a like the appropriate coupling style - surely the 'chains' you refer to are for the chaldrons? So a higher fidelity 'Hunt' - in appearance - I guess? Or maybe you don't think that the existing offerings can be improved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Dominion Posted January 12, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 12, 2023 Would love to try the chain version of these and to see the length but I am in Canada so postage a bit high just to try. Would someone perhaps be able to tell me the distance from the inside or outside of the Nem pocket front plate on the coupling and the magnetic face ? Many thanks.

Michael Hodgson Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 That would be useful info for AS to add to their website, no doubt it would help their sales too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
