coach couplers 36-060

[rebelred]

Hi guys,

just wondering does anybody know where I can get these couplers in Ireland?? (36-060 couplers for Mark III's) I know they are on amazon but the postage is double the price of what they actually cost because they are coming from the uk. Any help is appreciated!

Standard Bachmann stuff should be available from any of the Irish model shops

 

I've searched the three big boys, and Mark's have them listed here: http://www.marksmodels.com/?pid=6476

Didn't think they worked in mk3s,anyone have a go.

Hattons have them http://www.hattons.co.uk/Search-Results?SearchTerm=36-060

 

I have ordered the bachmann buffers from them and they only charged me the standard postage about £3 IIRC. If you are only getting one packet then that isnt too attractive but of you want multiple packets it isnt too bad.

Don't hornby mk3's have fixed couplers (the older type)?

Thanks for thatmrhd, I got the proper gangways for inbetween the coaches & they recommend those couplers for the authentic look. £3 postage aint too bad, on amazon it was £8!!!!!

[BosKonay]

Where did you pick up the gangways?

Most of mine are Limas

They were on ebay under birmingham-modellers,but you can contact him directly stuart.clarke@blueyonder.co.uk Think they were £2.50 for a pack of 4

The Bachmann RPSI coaches came with close couplers as an extra

Check them out and see if they are any use

I am sure there are loads of them lying around

All Bachmann mk2s and mk1s come with close coupler bar's as standard, pity paddy did not take this up with the MM mk2s.
