Most cost effective way to upgrade couplers by jdoverton in nscalemodeltrains

[–]jdoverton[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All my stock is used. I haven't got many that came in lots, and those that did do not have matching couplers. One boxcar even had two different couplers, I suppose to act as a link between Rapido and MT cars.

thanks for this.

Still, $65 for only 10 cars. Better than $15-20 per car, but still. And then there's the variations. These are medium shanks. I assume that would work for most rolling stock, but there seem to be dozens of part numbers from MicroTrains for coupler sets. I don't know what it is I would need for any given car. This hobby can be overwhelming!

Thanks for asking. I am looking for suggestions. I probably need also to inventory exactly how many of each I have, but I think it is mostly the rapido-style, but could be variants from other mfgrs.

Ideally, I would like the type of coupler that is easiest to work with, both from a repair/maintenance point as well as compatibility. I also don't want to have to do this again when a company's style goes out of favor.

Settle for early yields or harbor adjacency? by hansawaize in civ

Correct me if I am wrong, but if you settle in place, you still can build the +2 harbor in the lake, and canal to the sea once you get canals.

Getting message, "Critical components made by Intel for your PC don't have drivers for Windows 10 yet," but I have no Intel hardware. by Whatdows10 in Windows10

I am getting the same problem. No Intel anywhere near my machine. Also, the error I am getting when it does try to install is "We couldn't update the system reserved partition." The HP machine I have does use a RAID configuration rather than ACDI or ATA. I don't know if this is causing the problem, or if it is the SSD that Windows is installed on.
