Tommys Coach Corridor Connectors

This is just my way of attaching the Corridor Connectors for tight curves.
I mistakingly refer to the Coaches as Locos, and Quasi decided to switch on my Noch Steam sound unit with the bell ringing.

Hi Fim, many thanks. Cheers, Paul.

Hi, Paul! This solution is very interesting and it gives me the feeling it might work better, just a feeling yet. Maybe the paper is too rigid so it provokes derailments...? maybe a fine fabric corridor would worth a try?, but I can't see none of us working on sewing machine, lol. Anyway, thank you for the video, have a good peaceful Sunday evening. Cheers! / Chris

Hi Cris, Its surprising how flexible these connectors are. I like your idea of using some fabric it really would be flexible. Quite difficult to produce I think, I wonder if anyone will try another material. As always thanks for watching and commenting its good to hear suggestions. Have a great week, Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Paul, It's great to see different ways of connecting. I will definitely try this out, cheers 👍👍👍👍

[@paulvozman842]

Hi Windy, these connectors really do look good if the gap is minimal between the Coaches. The magnets work well on 4th radious curves. Its always good to experiment with ways to improve the look of the trains I think. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

They look good, Paul ...cheers James 🙂👍

Hey, Paul! Nice bit of finagling to solve an issue of gaps between cars! Well done!

[@paulvozman842]

Hi Anthony, I havent heard that word for years. If only the finagling had worked it would have been worth it. I think these corridor connectors would be very good on a big layout like yours. Have a great week. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

[@patricksmodels]

Ingenious solution, but I think they might not work on my tight curves.

[@paulvozman842]

Hi Patrick, I was hoping using the magnets would allow for some more free movement between the Coaches but alas it was not to be on my layout. Ah well back to the drawing board. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

[@roystrains]

Hi Paul. I tried a corridor connector on my class 142 pacer. I used a magnet much the same as you. Alas much the same it caused it to derail on bends. Was going to experiment with other ways but got forgotten about🤨

[@paulvozman842]

Hi Roy, This was an experiment to see if I could improve on my home made connectors. I thought using the magnets would work well but as you said they still derailed. I think just having a small gap between the fixed Corridor Connectors and the next Coach works quite well so thats what I will run with. I am very interested to see if anyone has succeded in having them attached both ends. Thanks for watching and commenting its most appreciated. All the best, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Paul, very interesting solutions! I also would like to have corridor connections but with my tight curves (R1 and even less) that's an impossible goal te reach, I think!

[@paulvozman842]

Hi Erik, unfortunatly these corridor connectors are unsuitable for the tightest curves. I have mine with the gap to avoid any possible derailing. They do work on 4th radious curves very well but that needs a big layout. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Good idea I have thought along similar lines but trying the flexable strip magnet like they use on labels and signs as it`s generally black and thin tape can be bought

[@paulvozman842]

Hi Clive, aounds like the magnetic strip is a good solution. I am always interested to hear how other modellers overcome these problems. Even the manufacturer stated these connectors may not be suitable for less the 4th radious curves. I hope you solve the issue. Best regards, Paul.👍👍🙏

By all means use 'bellows' style gangways on coaches that had them in real life, but Mark I coaches didn't have them. You would be better getting rid of those 'chopper couplings' and pulling the coaches closer together so that their gangways touch, then you won't need a 'bellows' at all. (Fix the problem of coaches being coupled too far apart rather than fixing the symptom - the gap between gangways) Also looks a lot more realistic having coaches closer together.

[@paulvozman842]

Thanks for the advice, its most aooreciated. Cheers, Paul.

Hello Paul what a fabulous idea 💡 enjoyed your video will be picking your inventive mind in my next video am about to install a lift out section or a hinge section Will putting it to my subscribers for any ideas 😅 cheers for now al 👋🚂🤗👍

[@paulvozman842]

Hi Al, Good to see you have been making plans for the changes to your layout. Sounds interesting having a lift out or a hinge section. I am sure there will be a lot of help from fellow modellers and if I can help as well. Thanks for watching and the kind comment. All the best, Paul.👍👍🙏
