LOL like your style

Just had a quick look at the link, but it doesn't say how many couplings you can convert, and for £8 I'd want a few 

Cheers

5,  thats an odd number in more ways than one,  so thats 2 and 1/2 wagons, or 5 match wagons or various other combinations.....

Following the link from Andy above, Dapol also quote "For those modellers who want to convert a lot of stock, we have also released to stockists 2A-000-014 a pack of 20NEM pockets RRP £12.95." But I don't see them on the Hattons site.

Cheers

We've had the 2a-000-014 in at Rails today (may not have been updated on the site as of yet. Looks like i'm parting with some money! Oddly we haven't recveived the NSPARE9 packs?!

IIRC you get 5 pairs (i.e. 10 couplings) plus the gauges / jigs in the c £8 pack, or 10 pairs (20 couplings) but no gauges / jigs in the c £12 pack...

[AndyGif]

it does not say pairs in the dapol link supplied!

or in this one from a few weeks ago

[Sprintex]

Yep, it does say "five pockets and sleeves", not five pairs

Maybe it's 5 couplings so that you can convert one end of a loco + 2 coaches or wagons!!!

Or maybe it's just a bean counters way of making us buy more packs
