H0 Rivarossi replacement couplers (semi knuckle)
Description
Replacement couplers for Rivarossi / AHM / IHC / Mehano coaches and locomotives. I found that second hand rolling stock often has broken copuplers or no couplers at all. And even when the Hornhook couplers are present, they do a poor job. Original Hornhook couplers have a massive distance btween the coaches and are prone to decouple when running. These replacement couplers - Provide a minimal distance between coaches. - Are suitable for tight curves. I've run them on 380mm/15inch radius without any problems - Can couple with some brands of "real" knuckle couplers. Couplers have 4 shaft lengths: Long, Medium, Small and Extra Small to fit on long coaches, the slightly shorter baggage car, the front and the back of an E7/E9 locomotive respectively. But they may fit on other equipment as well. The do not couple automatically: you'll have to lift on of the the couplers to slot it into the other. The same for decoupling. So not suitable for shunting, but they'll work well in fixed consists.
