Couplers for scratch built 20.3
Posted by mikearcher on Friday, January 27, 2006 3:03 PM
I am just starting building 20.3 scratch builts for a proposed timber-related garden RR. I want to use regular (not link & pin) couplers for this. Any recommenditons as to what brand/type seem to work best for this outdoor RR? Most couplers will be car-mounted.

Thanks!

Accucraft 1:20.3 are good for D&RGW and the D&RGW used standard gauge couplers for all of their engines and rolling stock due to the dual gauges.

Kadee Gauge #1 are more prototypical for most other narrow gauge items.
