Title: Uncoupling issues, possibly an answer?
Post by: petercharlesfagg on April 02, 2015, 03:23:40 PM
Friends,

I like many others experience from time to time the awkward uncoupling issue with Rapido type couplings.

Therefore would Peco GR-103 narrow gauge couplings be an answer?

They appear to have a spring holding down the opposing coupling bar on each coupling and they are EM type couplings too?

I have never tried them but has anyone else?

Regards Peter.

Hi Peter,

I haven't used them - but intrigued I took a look at them.  I reckon they probably would work, but they seem bigger than Rapidos so you may find they look odd and the wagon separation might be rather big.

BTW the couplers are GR-102 (103 are NEM boxes)

Cheers Jon  :)
