Golden Valley Hobbies - Conversion NEM pockets for Bachmann, Hornby, Tri-Ang (2 pairs)
Product Code: GVNEM01
Production Details:
These converters can be widely used
in older model railway stock, including wagons and
carriages, and can be found on various brands such as
Tri-Ang, Wrenn, Bachmann, Mainline, Hornby, Cambrian and
Parkside. Before using them, it's important to ensure
that the coupler you choose fits the NEM pocket. Please
check this before removing a pocket from the sprue. When
working with wagons, minimal adjustments are usually
needed. However, if there are rivets present, you may
need to drill them out or remove the mounting column.
The design of these converters relies on the two outer
posts of the model to be at the correct height. To
secure the converters in place, a small amount of glue
is required on the outer posts. We recommend using epoxy
glue for the best adhesion and durability as it offers
excellent resistance to vibrations and movement, which
are common in model railway operations. Before
permanently fixing the converters, it's crucial to
double-check that they are at the desired height for
proper operation. To verify the height, you can use a
reliable reference point or measurement tool, such as a
scale ruler or a gauge. By confirming the correct
height, you can ensure that the couplers engage and
disengage smoothly, allowing for seamless movement and
realistic operations on your model railway layout.
