[Trainman1965]

What brand couplers do you use on your N scale trains. I just dong like the big ones that come on the bachmann

I use the various Micro-Trains trucks and couplers as a rule.The newer ATLAS cars come with Accu-mates and I don't switch these out unless I have problems.

Thanks Catt i will look them up. I did not know if kaydee's was a good thing are not i see there is a kit for them. Do i have to change the way thay bolt on to make the after market work.

Bachmann cars have their trucks mounted with screws.To use the MTL/KaDee trucks and couplers you will need to ream out the whole in the truck to clear the Bachmann mounting post.Do this slowly and only enough that the new truck will swivel freely.The locomotive is another story alltogether.
