3-LINK COUPLINGS
I created these as an alternative to other brands available, mainly to make fitting easier as these feature a square 1mm shank so a simple 1mm hole drilled in your chosen wagon/locomotive is enough to slide the hook in place with a drop of CA/Super Glue to hold. They also tend to fit quite nicely in the holes left behind when the existing hooks are removed from RTR wagons. The hooks are 3D printed in durable PLA+ using a 0.2mm nozzle for finest detail.
The chain comes pre-assembled in lengths of 3-links however this will need to be added to the hooks. There are 2 ways to do this: either cutting a small slit above the hole in the hook and slipping the chain through this, or snipping one side of the link, opening it up, and then inserting through the hole before closing. I'd recommend the latter method to keep the structural integrity of the hook intact.
The chains and hooks are slightly larger than some others available to make coupling and uncoupling easier, particularly if using in an exhibition environment. I've used these on my own cameo layouts at a couple of exhibitions so far, and they have proven to be a breeze to use. Discounts are available when purchasing 2 or more packs.
