Key Features

- Useful for replacing missing or damaged coupling pockets and for suitable conversion projects.
- Intended for compatible models from manufacturers including Hornby, Bachmann and Heljan.
- Supports fitting a compatible NEM-style coupling where the mounting arrangement allows.
Compatibility
Compatibility depends on the specific model and its coupling mounting arrangement. Not every Hornby, Bachmann or Heljan model uses the same pocket or mounting method. Compare your existing pocket and available mounting space before purchasing. Couplings themselves are not included unless otherwise specified.
Installation
Remove the damaged pocket carefully, check the mounting point, and fit the replacement securely. Ensure the coupling is at the correct height and has sufficient movement before operating the model.
HobbyTrax Expert Tip
When replacing or retrofitting NEM coupling pockets, check the coupling height against adjacent rolling stock and test through curves and points. Small alignment differences can lead to unwanted uncoupling.
