Our coupling hooks, rectangular wagon pockets and links of fine chemically blackened chain make up into superb 3-link couplings. |
Original fine chain - in either blackened copper or soft iron.
48 links - enough for 8 pairs of couplings. Prototype chain - with thicker (scale) links - in either blackened copper or soft iron. 36 links - enough for 6 pairs of couplings. |
Etched in 12 thou brass this useful etch consists of 24 coupling hooks and associated rectangular wagon pockets. Hooks are arranged so they can easily be folded to form a double thickness, soldered together and filed to produce a prototypically thick hook; alternatively they can be fitted through the pockets singularly. The hooks are based on prototype drawings and feature a generous 'mouth' capable of accepting quite thick coupling links. The hole for the link is etched to accept 0.7mm links. |
