Hi All,
I would like to glue some plastic, that type that is used in Bachmann tension lock couplings.
I have 2 Bachmann Standard 4MTs and 1 Standard 5MT and they all have a different height rear NEM coupling box to those at the front. The couplings at the rear have an offset tension lock, and as Kadee do not make an offset NEM coupler and I do not want to butcher the locos I have decided to make my own.
I have discovered that if a No20 NEM coupler is glued to the underside of a standard Bachmann NEM coupler (with the tension lock head cut off) it is the correct height for coupling/uncoupling.
As the plastic used for these fittings is different to the polystyrene used in kits I suspect the glue/solvent will not work. Suggestions for what will work please.
Eddie.
