QUOTE (alan13 @ 9 Oct 2008, 16:01) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Hi Mike
Being fairly new to the hobby, I'm a bit confused by the various couplings available (Hornby, PECO, NEM etc). How about an article describing the various types, which are compatable, the pros & cons of each and how to change them. I've a few old Triang coaches with the old type couplings, I want to change them, but they are fixed to the bogey and it looks like a major job to me. I'm sure there are others readers who would find such an article useful. Great magazine by the (permanet) way!
Always a useful topic but while you are waiting for Hornby Magazine if you have access to old Model Rail magazines the following had articles on couplings;
Jan 2000
April 2000
April 2001
July 2001
Feb 2002
March 2003
Marcg 2005
