Coupler Conversion for N Spectrum 2-8-0
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, October 1, 2002 12:21 PM
I recently bought the new (2002) Bachmann Spectrum 2-8-0 Consolidation Steam Engine - N Scale.

I want to replace the coupler with a Micro Trains Magnetic coupler. There doesn't seem to be a kit specific for it (the coupler attaches to the tender body, not the truck). Which coupler should I buy? I can't tell from the Micro Train's listings in the Walther's Reference book or in the online catalogs.

Thanks in advance. Just starting out and this is my first try at this.

Thanks! Perfect.
Both for the part # and the reference URL which will help me in the future. Chip
