Top stuff.

Lovin' the tension locks.

It's the way forward.

Phil great as ever, the screw couplings look good who’s are those pray tell?
Cheers

They were bought a long time ago, I have one left in a packet somewhere, if I find it, I'll let you have the supplier, other than that, I can't remember

They look like old Exactoscale ones. Long gone, I’m afraid (and a fiddle).

Hello @AJC @AdeMoore
I note from the latest Scalefour News, that Ian Macdonald (a.k.a macgeordie - purveyor of quality kits - his latest Palethorpes 6-wheeler makes even a nigh-on vegan like me drool) has introduced some 15 though NS working screw couplings (£2.50/fret to build six WORKING couplings, plus £1.00 P&P for any quantity). Ian is on here and RMWeb.

Cheers

The screw couplings on the 61xx in the picture are working, how they turn a thread in something that small.........

Thanks for the info. Jan as you know I bought the Rumney ones, they are a fiddle but yet to weather and fit to see how good they look. I know they will never look as good as Phil’s working ones here.

The thing is, no matter how good the loco, if the couplings are over scale, which the majority are, then the loco doesn't look right!

Suits us in the S Scale Society since the oversize ones are usually spot on for us.
