- NEM Converter pockets.
- Dapol, Hornby and Airfix
These again are designed to change an old system to the newer NEM pockets allowing you to fit what you require.. like Kadee's for example.
I use these on my wagons and they work well... they can also fit bogie stock with a little bit of work.
They are available via Vectis Models, all rights and designs are registered to them, discounts also available direct through the page.

Also available via eBay, these are relisted every 2 weeks.

These work like a dream! Thanks for all your work on the design.
Your welcome glad you found them useful 👍😊
I have recommended these to a mate who want to modenzen his wagons and coaches
Brilliant - so impressed - now considering going to NEM!!
I have never understood why locos and rolling stock don't just have a hook at each end with a chain link coupler. At least Shapeways couplings look good, and Bachmanns coach pipe coupling is a move in the right direction. I like Hornby's latest chain link coupler on the Rocket, a bit fiddly but that can be developed.
Hi Matt, would these be the sort of thing to convert a Dapol wagon built from their kits. Love the idea.
Probably not these, an dthe problem with those kits there's 2/3 different types of mounting points because of the age of the kits some are kit master, Airfix and possibly some Dapol as well.. Sadly not a one size fits all... Some have used the Lima types and glued them in the hole...
Hi Matt, I've purchased from you before. Do you do a converter for a Ratio /Cooper craft kits. I have a number of these completed kits, and would like to go to NEM couplings. Kind regards Mike of Bristol
Hello Mike,
Thanks for purchasing I recognized the name.
I cannot remember what the ratio ones are I have a vague memory but depends on what it is.
The coopercraft kits I know some have been sold on to other companies, Phoenix and Cambrian so they may have been changed.
Best to send photos of the couplings and the area around them... To see if we have anything suitable.
But we don't have anything designed specifically for them.

Hi there, I'm in the process of converting several of the old Triang/Hornby Thompson teak coaches - which come with nothing more than an empty shell and very little detail. Those I have, some have very rusted couplings of the old D type of coupling and I was wondering if i could convert them to a better type of coupling. Those on my coaches are held in place with a rivet and two lugs. Do you produce any coupling fixtures for these? Perhaps you could advise me. Thanks. PS, A very good and interesting video.
Hello, thanks for your interest in my items.
We do have something it will require some Work to fit them, as they need be at the right height.
So the rivet will need drilling out or removing and a slot/channel cut to allow the pocket to sit at the right height.
They come in 4x or 18x

I have an older Hornby Class 43 125 HST. Do you know if NEM pockets are available for it and for Mk III intercity coaches?
Sadly there are so many variations, from ex dapol tooling to various hornby toolings, even some Lima ones in there to, sadly you need to know what type you have.
We do a selection, for old toolings however some couplings are moulded in to the bogie.. I have some in CAD but not tested yet.
@@bluebellModelrailway Thanks for that. I can imagine it would be hard. There are many versions. I don't mind the tension lock coupling, but some of these early HST's like mine, dont have the clip on the Power/dummy power cars. They tend to uncouple if the powered car is at the rear "pushing" the train along
hi matt i am in western australia & i have watched your NEM conversion video with interest but where can i find to look at & purchase even if you do not ship here i have a brother & sister in Scotland so you could ship to them & they would then fwd on to me obviously i need to look at types available & cost as i have various different types to convert. Cheers Norm Maxwell
Hi Norman,
At the moment I am selling from eBay (UK) that's UK only shipping Facebook which I will ship worldwide.
I am getting a shop set up at the moment to take over from eBay.

I cannot find NEM Convertera Airfix on MadeMe! is there another reference?
Someone had the last one this morning, will be restocked this afternoon. They are the Dapol/Hornby - 8.25 ones 18s and 4s which are instock at £3
Boring! Far from it! Such a ingenious idea and design. Well done and it should be a great success for you.
Very kind, we have sold a few... 200 I think so far they have been out a while... But things have slowed due to time of year an others pinching ideas.
