N Gauge Corridor Connectors

[mk1gtstu]

They look good!  Especially if they're suitable for small layouts with tight curves where close coupling of coaches isn't possible??

cheers, Stu.

I've been testing 12" radius curves without problems

Surprised you've had no derailments at pointwork.
It's a choice for sure.

No, none - there is just a tiny tiny gap (and this could be made zero by fitting the gangway cover to one coach), and it makes the close coupling mechanism on the coach actually work for a living, as otherwise it doesn't do all that much.



I'm sure there are combinations of Dapol knuckles that would work too, but this seems reliable on any trackwork I've tried.

Cheers,
Alan

These look good for older coaches, though the modern Mk1s shown could overcome this by use of shorter couplers - one Farish short shank Rapido and one standard length will give corridor connections that just touch - I run all my Mk1s like this and have not run into any trouble so far.

HTH,
Alan
So where do you get the short shank Rapidos from?

[scruff]

Farish 379-402 Nem couplings short x20
mine cost me £5.95 a pack from a local model shop.
Hope that helps Dancess

These look good. I'd definitely have a few ...

I would be interested in a few 

Could these be supplied in a silvery grey for use with American passenger cars?

Cheers John.

I think that could easily be sorted John.
Your American Passenger cars may be a slightly different size, so we'd probably need some measurements?

I will buy some of the black ones when they become available, then I can take some pictures with one of them against a passenger car and I can also supply dimensions easily enough.

Cheers John.

I'll arrange for a couple to come out to you John so we can compare. PM me your address.

It should be ok, just sourcing the card that colour and thin enough is the hard bit, so may be a little more expensive due to one off materials John.

Like NPN, I'd be pleased to see these working well when I'd take a whole bunch of 'em.

Look forward to your update.

I like that idea as not only the buffers look closer together but the spacing between carriages looks more realistic.

[Barry M]

Hopefully my review sample will arrive tomorrow so i can make a little video take some pictures and post my (hopefullly singing with joy!) findings

Gulp!

I'm still struggling to see how this negotiates anything but the widest radius curves?
