Hello As a newbie to 4mm scale I wonder what kind of couplings is the most used.Do you have recommendations?Maybe just the 3link couplings? Where do i get...
HI.. I use smith 3-link couplers from www.mainlytrains.co.uk. Stuart in OZ ... From: Stine & Sven Lövström To: finescale@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday,...
Hi Sven. C+L sell both the Smith's and Slater's 3 link couplings. If you want to move on to some form of automatic couplings, then try Googling Alex Jackson...
... Smith's coupling are about 20% oversize, i.e. good for S scale. If you want scale coupling s, try Exactoscale Masokits or if you don't mind other useful...

We are recent converts to Lincs couplings - they are easy to bend to shape and fit and if blackened merge into the background. You can also fit 3-links...
... Dave, I've come across this in 2mm scale at some time but I could never get my brain around how it works. Is there a good website with a description of it?...
I use Smiths and find them a good compromise between looks and practicality. Anything closer to scale is a horrible fiddle to use, especially when your eyes...
Likewise I'm a long-time Smiths user for my 4mm stock, though in the past few years I've taken to preferring the Ambis hook (and instanter link as appropriate)...
... A couple of points. The Exacto hook point can benefit from a little 'dressing' with a good Swiss file to bring it closer to the prototype shape. Also a...
Hello again I would like to thank you all for this valuable advice. My own experience mostly comes from N gauge couplings and DG couplings for my 2mm habit. ...
I've found what I think is a reasonable copromise in using the etched coupling hooks designed by Iain Rice for Mainly Trains with the steel chain obtainable...
David I dont know of a site for these - I believe we retrieved an article in an old magazine. My modelling partner is trying to find it and we will come back...

Hi Graham. 60/40 solder normally has a melting temperature of 188 Deg C. Under normal circumstances it should not degrade. Use them as you would any other 188...
Hi Brian As a newbie to the forum and P4 I'm very excited by your announcement. Look forward to seeing the website in new year. Thanks for an excellent service...
Hi Guys :) Just thought I'd give you an update on the P4 conversion of the bachmann Pannier(8750). All has gone well, pleased with results, and was very...
Hi Geoff, Brian is as always correct, but there is more to it than that. The give away is in your original message, it is "multicore" so it contains multiple...
