ColinB Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Sadly last night my Pendolino fell and broke its coupling. It appears nobody has replacements, does anyone know if Hornby intend restocking, or on the versions they now sell, that have improved it. I can see why they designed like they did, but 4 different coupling types is a bit dumb it makes keeping replacement stock a nightmare. You could have got away with just one plus "tie rods" like Bachmann do. i did send Hornby a mail, but I am sure I will get "old model buy a new one".

ColinB Posted June 28, 2020 Author Share Posted June 28, 2020 @Will Hay the ones on EBay are the power car ones. Would you believe there are 4 different types in a Pendolino. You can easily get the power car ones, but not the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I thought there was a difference in length between the Pendolino and the Javelin couplings - I forget if the Javelin was longer or shorter. For me, it's a couple of years ago I was hunting down some of the 'unobtainables' and was pretty certain I'd tried this route.If I'm wrong, and they're totally compatible, that's great news for all of us - I'd previously purchased a damaged coach just for the coupling!

Puffed Out Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 @atom3624.Yes, they are slightly longer, but not as much as you would notice(about 4mm). I bought a rake of them, as we all know they are one of the first things to break. That's why I bought a few, in anticiption of that fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
