New Couplers, 1.5" and 2.5"
Accucraft Train is offering 1.5/1.6 all steel couplers with centering springs. We are also offering 2.5 all steel couplers based on the Sharon pattern. These are all new patterns. They are at a reasonable price. See our web site for more information. https://www.livesteamstation.com/accucr ... -on?page=2

Re: New Couplers, 1.5" and 2.5"
Forgot to mention, we are offering the new "Taller Knuckle" and the "trip pin" with a top shaft for uncoupling. both of these parts will be offered separately. They fit the TMRR couplers and the RMI couplers, and may fit others. you can find them on our web site but currently the picture needs to be updated. The knuckle is 1/2" overall taller than the aforementioned couplers. This will greatly help in keeping the cars from coming apart.

Re: New Couplers, 1.5" and 2.5"
Dave, to confirm, are your existing 2.5” couplers compatible with the same size RMI couplers?
Thanks,
Glenn

Dave, when do you expect your 2.5” couplers to be ready to ship?
I’m interested in several.
Thanks

Well.....has anyone gotten a response from David, or has Aacucraft Trains gone full RMI on us?
I PM’d David reguarding 2.5” couplers, no reply.
Thanks Curt

Re: New Couplers, 1.5" and 2.5"
Yes, the new couplers are compatible to the RMI couplers. RMI had two 2.5 couplers. One was the Sharon and the other did not have any lettering on it. This new one is a Sharon version and it can mate with the other one.
I will keep you informed as to arrival dates.

I’m instead in 5 pairs of the 2.5” Sharon’s.
Looking forward to their arrival.

Re: New Couplers, 1.5" and 2.5"
What’s the difference? I’ve got the unlettered RMI couplers on my shay, I haven’t noticed any issues with them but I’ve never coupled to any other RMI equipment, only Artzberger couplers.David S Coster wrote: ↑Sun Mar 07, 2021 2:04 pm Yes, the new couplers are compatible to the RMI couplers.
