Thanks, the locos (IE 141s) have NEM pockets and most of the wagons although kit/scratch and conversion will be rebogied/underframed using Bachmann products so shoul all be NEM pocketed as well.
I've read about the height guage so this will be a must but need to sort out correct couplers to get round those second radius curves.
Are there any retailers UK that sell a big selection?
Hi All,
Be careful when using NEM Kadee's with Bachmann chassis, as some have their NEM pockets set for 'cranked' tension-lock couplings. This makes the pockets way too high for Kadee's. My solution when converting Bachmann chassis is to completely forget about using NEM couplings and use good ol' No.5's instead.
