Its annoying that makers dont use industry standard heights on couplings , it wouldny be so bad if there own make couplings actually worked, and the glue they use must be thinned down, a really fantastic product spoiled by economy ,, excellent advice from you cheers
Awesome video...... I have CSX Dash 9 aristocraft #9042 it's the all blue........love it....... it's been run to death but I've brought it back to life and I'm running it again and it seems brand new to me... thanks for sharing 👍
Love seeing that SCL logo. I scratch build G 1:32 Stock and locomotives. something that may help your fabrication is a 3D printer. I print my couplers housings in ABS and some in PetG. You can use Fusion 360 or I find FreeCAD works great on the the two Part benches it provides. I had no cad background and it took about 3 hours before I was making precision train parts. Go College RU-vid, tons of FreeCAD vids out there. I grew up getting the crap scared out of me by those Black and Yellow SCL monster Locomotives in Florida. Sad part is I now live on an island with no rail of any kind. :) Thank for posting the video!
Joseph Lupinski added an important point. I used 906 kadee couplers because I have wide radius curved track. He uses 907 kadee couplers for body mount because his rr uses tighter radius curves. Keep this in mind when choosing your kadee product. 😉
Hi Nick, sorry it took so long to reply but I just now saw your comment. They’re actually small lights you find at most any craft store that run off AA or AAA batteries. Home Depot and Lowe’s carry them at Christmas time as well. Michaels one hobby lobby too. This past year I found light up Christmas necklaces that I actually used on some box cars. All led of coarse.
Hi I was on Kstrains channel and seen your comment and decided to check out your channel. I enjoyed the Christmas train with the Christmas lights. How did you power the Christmas light on the train? Have a healthy and prosperous New Year. Greetings Nick from New Jersey
