Modern metal wheels do have insulation between the wheel and axle so are fine on two rail (apart from a rogue Collett coach it seems mentioned in a recent post) . can make go whizzing around my layout without it losing carriages every second circuit or so is the 2nd hand 'Railroad' (BIG couplings) style Flying Scotsman that I got as a present from my mother, which ignited my whole interest to begin with. The consumer (you) may cancel the sale at any time in the cancellation period without giving any reason, and without incurring any liability except under these provisions— One common problem that I have come across is that some coupling hooks (particularly on the older Airfix clip-in couplings, that Hornby still use with some wagons) are longer than others, so that when a pair of wagons are coupled together, the

I have seen a handful of B-mann wagons that come fitted with Kadee couplers [these - http://www.expressmodels.co.uk/acatalog/kadee-5cm-menu.jpg] I'm not sure why though, those are popular internationally, but not generally used by UK modellers. that arise, but for me, as TheDoc suggested, the attraction for me is in having it as a toy to play with.Problems with the old, large Hornby/Triang couplers and smaller new ones are known, but I'm not sure why you're having problems with newer types together. What are you referring to when you

Thanks for both of your extensive replies and I think I definitely see a solution here; Namely, buy the old style NEM couplings. For some, the fun in building up a model train layout lies in its development and overcoming the problems Yes, the B4CHM4NN and the Hornby couplings are very similar, but they don't like each other and to be honest, they don't even like themselves. The problem with fitting the narrower coupling (R8099) to the Hornby Mk3 and Mk2 coach is that it makes them more prone to derailing on points and curves. They look slightly better than the big coupling, but don't actually give a closer Another problem with the newer slim couplings is this: if you have tight curves (even radius 4 counts

Reaching Us Sarah's advice regarding the wagons with metal wheels is excellent. Before 1958 Hornby Dublo trains all had metal wheels without insulation so cannot be used on 2 rail layouts.. Triang and Trix used plastic wheels . Peco Wonderful Wagons used nylon wheels so are OK for 2 rail.
