[@SURAJITROY]

standing ovation sir 🙋‍♂

[@davestrains6816]

Very nice ! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@tanzj]

Dave, Nice job on explaining how you do the MTL trucks/couplers. Since I don't use the magnetic uncouplers, most of the time I trim the pins on mine....John

[@davestrains6816]

I have tried to use magnetic uncouplers but most of the time they do not work. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@davidallen6333]

I use my magnifying visor , and some are also screws for pins like Athearn , I have used the Atlas couplers and trucks and the Micro trains coupler and truck combinations . your trip pins are sometimes so low I have either bent them upwards , or removed them . I have changed out many couplers in my collection . yes for a 10 pack of coupler with trucks in CAN is now $85.00 ouch you get 10 enough to do 5 cars , I have went through hundreds over the years , all my cars are changed over , now I have been changing the wheels to metal from plastic at $1. CAN per axle . Thanks Dave again .

[@davestrains6816]

Yes things are so expensive but we have to just keep plugging along. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks Dave for another interesting video, the UK has been taken by storm with the new Hunt magnetic couplers, they are magic and like me a lot are changing over to them, might be worth a look sometime, all the best and take care...Mal

[@davestrains6816]

I have seen a little of that, I wonder if they make them for N scale? I will have to look into that. I appreciate you watching and commenting.

[@BoxcarJerry]

Hi Dave good video on Couplers . I've been changing over to MT 1030 couplers little by little . As for new cars I try my best to buy Micro Trains cars , I love the fact their a USA Made product and support them . I don't find they cost much more if at all then the other manufactures out there . Thanks for sharing and take care .

[@davestrains6816]

That is a good point Jerry. Everything in the hobby is overpriced, but what do you do?? Stay safe and keep making that sawdust!

[@davestrains6816]

Thank you Art! You are the second person that has mentioned that! I appreciate you watching and commenting.

[@ThePeejRR]

The moment one of the coupler pins get caught on something on the track and cause a derail I cut them off. Great informative video.

[@davestrains6816]

That is a good solution. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@markarnold8160]

Coupler heights are a menace! I will devote some time to getting mine sorted but at the moment I'm just picking and choosing cars that work together and using them whilst forsaking the others 😔

[@davestrains6816]

I still do that as I think some of my rolling stock hate each other. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@ewoodrailway]

Tell me about it Dave, those new locos I purchased have couplers that hit the track pins..I'll certainly be changing them. Hope your staying safe my friend

[@davestrains6816]

I hate to hear that. I assume those are just plastic anyway? Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@ewoodrailway]

Dave's Trains they are metal but there will be a way around it

[@railfanninginohiowithjessi9844]

very nice there Dave hope you have an awesome day

[@davestrains6816]

Thank you!

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Much easier to change the bogie with the MTH couplings, than just swap the coupling alone ( eyes can't see the springs etc). Not keen on Kato or McHenry or other types as they struggle to couple to micro trains or each other sometimes.

[@davestrains6816]

That is true, I wish prices were a little more reasonable. I appreciate you watching and commenting.

[@FBMRR]

Hey Dave. Im an HO scale modeler. In my experience all of oir couplers are body mounted. In N scale are all the couplers truck mounted?

[@davestrains6816]

No they can come either way. I do like the body mounted better but my eyes just can't see to do it anymore. I appreciate you watching and commenting.

[@davestrains6816]

Thank you!

[@mysticrailroad]

athearn uses mchenry couplers. i don't own any but i've heard they're bad. great video Dave! just one suggestion- you might wanna make sure the action is more in the middle of the screen. most of the action was at the top of the screen and at one point we couldn't see what you were doing with the truck cuz it was totally off screen lol. still, i think this vid might help a lot of people! thanks for sharing!

[@davestrains6816]

Thank you, I really appreciate the tip. This video was the hardest one I have ever tried filming, all sorts of issues during and after recording. Plus I do not have a good space to film overhead camera work. I am trying to fix that. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@possumbayou8238]

I'm not a big fan of the McHenry couplers.

Good how to video Dave! How much do you charge to change say.... 50 cars? In HO scale? Haha.
