QUOTE (Optimist @ 30 Dec 2006, 15:07) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>I would like to buid a puzzle switching layout 6'x1' in Ho using Fleischmann stock. But I am having trouble with the Fleischmann uncoupler track and Profi couplings - working is erratic, so am I doing something wrong, and could operation be improved? Is it possible to successfully change Fleischmann couplings with Nem362 sockets for Kadee couplings - has anyone tried this with a degree of success. If it is workable, which Kadee fittings should I use? Help and advice appreciated.
The FLM profi-couplings although a good coupling (they are my coupling of choice) they often need a "good nudge" to couple up & occasionally a little reluctant to uncouple.
You could use Kadee's but they can be a little tricky to set up. If operation is more important than close coupling and/or looks the older style FLM coupling (6509) may be a better bet. I have about 18 if you cannot obtain them locally - if any good to you, then join the group & send me a PM.
