They have quite a large "footprint" - the Roco ones are smaller & much easier to fit because of it - give you a NEN pocket to fit the couplings of your choice.

Fleischmann also make a conversion that has an even smaller "footprint" but you can only fit the Profi Coupling to it.

I also use the Gutzold unit, but it seems to be as rare as Hens teeth! both have the advantage of being able to slide the coupler head up and down to the height you require.

Hi David,

I'd forgotten about that one - it's still available ;
40281 - with the FLM pin mounting
40286 - with the Ade "short NEM"
40287 - with the std NEM

also the coupling conversions are ;
40343 - for two axel vehicles
40344 - for bogie vehicles

all on page 257 in the 2007/8 catalogue.

You could have made my day, is 40286 Ade type still available? if so I am very interested.

David
Hi David,
Looks like they are, as they are in the current catalogue & listed on their website. Probably around £2.50 a pair though !

If you would like us to get some on the next Roco order please send me a PM.

Hope this helps.
