Magnetic Chain Couplings (Pack of 8)

These are a handy option for certain stock, especially rakes of wagons that stay together, I have already recommended them to a couple of friends.

A fantastic, very convenient idea and method of coupling the Era 1 wagons. I purchased the 'spares' to trim the NEM end, then glue to Hornby wagons to offer easy-coupling options.
The magnets can 'pull out' of their little moulded plastic 'pocket', but can be replaced and glued in - with care!!

Simple and effective.

Works as expected with no quality issues

Excellent solution for 009 gauge rolling stock, easily modified to fit into small wagons.

works well and looks authentic.Problem when uncoupled drops to the sleepers ,so a problem

I receiwed all O.K. perfect. Many thanks

The magnet lacks a bit of strength but for its size it’s brilliant. Just what I needed.

The ultimate Era 1 coupling! Love the way these fit into a NEM pocket!

I have a few Accurascale Chauldron waggons and some Sam’s Trains waggons. They all now carry these couplings as does my Hornby Locomotion.

Sadly Hornby have not seen fit to put NEM pockets on any of their Era 1 stock, as these are far better than the annoying plastic chains they supply.

Magnets kept coming loose from the sockets, also disconnecting while in motion.

Awkward to couple together initially, and chains are too long to look protypical when finally in a fitted formation. Definitely only worth having if you want to fit then in a permanently fixed formation.

A nice idea, but something that perhaps requires a little fine tuning in future.
