I wish Bachmann would give Clarabel a guard compartment where her face is so that she’s more in line with her television series counterpart.

As an alternative, you might want to consider Sprat & Winkle-type couplers. They give a screw link look, but still allow automatic coupling. And can also magnetically uncouple.

Excellent masterpiece work of art of everything

I have started using these couplings on my Thomas trains. And I do believe they are much more cool looking.

Great stuff! They are indeed!

1. I personally consider it better to remove the tension-lock couplers non-destructively where possible, just in case. 2. As someone who made the same mistake when I tried my own hand at installing screw links on a couple models ages ago, I take issue with your installation instructions. The hooks should _only_ be truncated and glued _if_ they outright don't fit with their tails intact. The purpose of the tail is to hold a spring and a retainer pin for said spring, to basically act as an expansion joint to help with cornering.

The only bad part is the bachmann buffers on the rolling stock mainly the trucks is so small that they will get caught up with each other when backing around a curve and derail.

I have had no issues so far. Having the hook extend a little bit out can help this issue!

Well I work in a gauge so I use Diapet Thomas models I am making an Edward out of a James as we speak and I managed to drop my Thomas of the set breaking it but fixed him but can’t get the cab fully smooth again oh I motorise my rolling stock and I do it for the tenders to for the tank engines however I just use string I bace them if there cgi renders but make the sets like season 1 abs I use chain links from Bachman they work alright but may try this method … it worked thanks for the advice on the wagons like Annie and clarabel but where do you get some chains big enough to fit round the Bachman uk Rai he dummy hooks I cant find any

It can be tedious. However, I went to a model show a few moths ago and some people there had build little sticks with hooks to make it easier to connect trains. Something I am thinking of attempting!

@darkstone_official_2427

If these chains are made from a magnetic type of metal, you can also use a small screwdriver with a magnetic tip and attach it to the furthest chain link and then couple them up like that, then just pull slightly down below the hooks so the coupling stays attached and allows you to pull the screwdriver away.

won’t that make them harder to couple up to engines?

@thomasthetankman111

10 ай бұрын

Well it does but it's more accurate to how steam engines look. Which is why a lot of modelers' choose this method. With this method you have to couple and uncouple your wagons manually.

What chain links do you use for the engines?
