HI,
I bought a 36 cars lot. They are from Bachmann, white box with purple '' Freight cars ' write on it. The guy who sold me those cars told me that they are rapido coupler equipped but they don't, they are equipped with another kind of coupler but I can't tell which kind. Someone knows? I also have 55 locos and 25 other cars all equipped with rapido coupler. What should be the best move to do ( at the better pice) ?
Thanks

Now I'm AMP'd
Can you post a pic?
The only other coupler I can think of that would be the Micro-Trains truck mounted coupler, which looks close to the real thing.

I will try to post a pic but I can say that they are truck mounted coupler, looks like real thing so maybe you are right. The coupler does not have the little pin below then, only the hook.

I wonder if I could only change the hook/coupler and keep the truck?

I will try to take a picture this afternoon
Thanks
Pat

That pic is of an HO car, so it isn't the coupler you have, for sure.

So, look at this page:
Information on Couplers

A lot of times the pin will fall out/be taken out of the MT couplers. For manual use, they are not really needed, but they are eaily replaced.
