- MTL Coupler installed on a Atlas EV Caboose
Installing Micro Trains #1111 (001 30 007) couplers into a N-Scale ATLAS EV Caboose.
Most people like to replace the Stock RAPIDO couplers with a new type coupler like Micro Trains. I also use a MTL #1020 coupler holding tool. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
All I ever do is lose springs and get frustrated. You make it look so very easy.
seems easy to me...
At last a video where I can actually see what's being done. Good job!
Thanks :)
Looks so simple. I tried that without the MTL tool.
Worked, but took about ten times the time you needed.
Thank you Eric!
Great video, I was able to complete this project very easily. Thank you!
Learning a lot from your video! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful, thanks
AWESOME!!! Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work.
Thanks
Thanks for showing installation in detail. Really appreciate it as I am very new to this hobby.
.
Thanks for watching
Very well done! Thanks for sharing, love your videos! Keep it up!
Getting started in N scale, most helpful!
Great video. Well shot and good job of explaining the steps. Thanks for sharing.
+Steve Wojcik Thanks
Excellent video. Very clear and concise.
Thanks
That was a very helpful video. Thanks for uploading.
Glad it was helpful!
Very informative!
When I put Micro Trains couplers on my Atlas wide vision cabooses, the coupler conversion kits I used for both of my cabooses was the MT 1049 conversion kits for the Minitrix F9B units, they fit petfectly.
Many things cross fit, that is true
Nice video. You said the part number wrong twice, but we knew what you meant, LOL. :)
it is close to my phone number so I'm used to the 111 number.
Great video, Eric. Thanks. Is there an easy way to find out which MT replacement couplers to buy for various kinds of rolling stock, such as Kato and Atlas?
Micro-Trains Web Site. make sure you know what you have. Atlas did a change up on this EV Caboose. The newer ones you a different style coupler over the older ones.
***** Thanks, Eric, for always sharing your knowledge and wisdom.
I find the MT tweezer indispensable, handy for mantra conversions
That is True
Hey Eric if the Conversion cover for the Microtrains isn't in the Box say in like there using Accumate couplers can a person get the Microtrains cover from Atlas I'd like to change out a few of my Atlas Cabooses to Microtrains couplers..
Wanted to pass on just Got me a few Athearn Auto-Max Autoracks Eric They're pretty Impressive even in N Scale & for there Size they Pull pretty Well.. Have a look on my Channel when you get a Chance..

I do not know on any of that. Last conversation I did was about the same time this video post. A long long time ago…
Doesn't work anymore since Atlas has changed the coupler pockets. :-(
What is new. Have not picked up a new ATLAS EV Caboose. In fact most new ATLAS products should have some sort of quality type coupler
The caboose from Atlas 50 000 976 - 50 000 991 have a different coupler pocket than earlier models. These models have Atlas Accumate couplers. It is rather annoying because I bought the conversion kit from Micro-Trains without knowing that the pocket was changed. I prefer Micro-Trains couplers on caboose.
BTW, thanks for all those great videos. :-)
Bernard Mueller 100% correct on that just checked it out. My last caboose has the pin whisker type Accumate couplers. I looked up on MT web site under the conversion list and MT has no set of couplers you can use to replace the Atlas Accumates yet.
