trevor_rawson Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I have no idea what { nem { couplings means. do they fit the old hornby coupling. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poliss Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 No, they aren't interchangeable with the old type screwed in or riveted on versions.In this case NEM means that they have a sort of forked plug on them which fits into a NEM socket.The working end of the NEM tension lock couplings, aka hook and bar amongst other names, operates in the same way as the older type couplings.

poliss Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 NEM stands for 'Normen Europäischer Modellbahnen' just in case you're interested. NEM still stands for 'Normen Europäischer Modellbahnen' even if you're not interested. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1ngr4y Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 But you can also get couplings which aren't hook & bar, for instance, kadee couplings, which can plug into a NEM socket.Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 You can get various replacement pockets that accept nem couplings, such as the fishtail type on tenders. Have a look for X6354 (Hornby) on the spares area of the Hornby Shop website.Also look here http://www.newmodellersshop.co.uk/hornby_spares_couplings.htmor try Peter's spares here http://www.petersspares.com/hornby-x6354-nem-pockets-pk10.ir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stubaggieboy Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 In my opinion they are the cause of more accidents and derailments than dodgy track laying! Total backward step from the old mk 3 Triang couplings bulky but reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
