Hi all,
I'm in the process of building a few kit wagons (and enjoying it - or is that the glue?).
The one I'm doing right now has 2 bogies, and I'm not sure what couplings to use. I've used 3-links on the rest so far, and had planned to use 3-links on this one, but given the short wheel base of the bogies on this wagon, I can't see them working at all on any form of curve without pulling the buffer beams apart. I've perused the couplings and hooks discussion earlier in this forum, but there is no mention of suitability of couplings to bogie based models.
Anyone have any suggestions, or should I resign myself to using standard tension lock couplings on this?
