One Response to Changing Couplers

  • Jerry says:

    I am new to N scale but have experience in changing ho couplers with much success. However, in N scale, you should get micro trains pre assembled couplers to save yourself aggrevation. Unassembled N nuckle couplers are difficult to assemble unless you have experience due to the small size. You can also purchase the truck mounted coupler sets but body mount is much better.
