Frankie2 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Hi to everyone, does anyone know which coupling + hook fit the class 47 mammoth 1979-1982.when I bought it second hand these were missing. I did by some from Peters Spares but they do not fit but they were for several loco's including class 47 but hence not my version. I don't know whether the bogie frame originally came with the couplings and then you bought the hooks separately which is a possibility looking at the service sheet but there is a possibility that it has later model bogie frame. Regards Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Spare Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 As originally built, the bogie frame would have incorporated the coupling bar, to which the metal hook would be added. The coupling hooks have more recently been supplied in 10s in pack X8389. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie2 Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 Well that makes sense, obviously later model bogie frames have been fitted so I will have to look at fitting alternative couplings with hooks as I have neither. A possible solution is the old metal ones which are a flat one piece mechanism . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Spare Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 If you have a platform on the end of the bogie frames to be able to screw them on to, the original metal coupling assemblies are in pack X8025 (without screws) or the plastic version is in pack X8031 (with screws).
