ReddersJ Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I would like to modify the Couplings on the Harry Potter, 2Deathly Hallows" coaches and Tender. The couplings are the wide fixed bar Tension Locks. The Coaches are Mk1s [the type that fall into a roof, 2 x sides and chassis when unpinned]. I would like to change the Bogies for a later type, which has NEM pockets, such as on the R4619 Mk1 BR Parcel Brake Coach. I cannot see a number for the Bogie on this item and searching the Internet identifies only the X6949 which has pick-ups for lights. I would prefer to use the same wheels, so a Bogie chassis would be preferable.Does anyone know the Nornby number for the NEM pocket type of Bogie, please?Thanks for your time.Julian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

81F Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Again cannot really help as my model is very much pre Mk1. However I'm gusiing the Mk1 bogies you have are the same as those on my SR luggage vans from the Winston Churchill and Imperial airways sets. In both cases I wanted to fit nem pocketed bogies but found the types used on the Southern railway coaches with nem pockets did not have coupling pockets on the bogies but on a separate moulding attached between the body and the bogie, so I would check that this is not the same for the Mark 1s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Maybe you could post a picture of the coaches nether regions and an example of what coupling method you want to convert them to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I can't find a number for is the bottom left one, with a Kadee in the pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReddersJ Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 Oops, I should clarify that the NEM pocket originally had Hornby narrow NEM Tension Locks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
