Hi folks,
I'm building some wagons for the base of my crane at the moment and wanted to replicate the look of the modern tunnelling equipment I've been ogling lately. These all have really big knuckle couplers - they look like they're maybe standard gauge equipment?
I thought I'd fit Kadees from a larger scale - my model is 1:35 on 16.5mm gauge, and the HO/On30 couplers look much too weedy - but are S or O gauge couplers going to give me operational problems?
One thing I wondered about was the trip pins - I might have to mount the couplers quite high or bend the pins to get clearance above the track, will they still work?
Thanks!
Will
