I have a box of MT's 001 10 003 unassembled body mount medium shank couplers, but they seem to have lots of tiny parts and I never assembled them. I just looked at the MT site and many seem to be screwed under the body frame directly. Adding a screw hole - or just drilling the car should be easy. I assumed they needed a rectangle pocket to sit inside of built into the car itself. micro-trains.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=340&search=001+10+003&description=true Which couplers do you use? Can't model what I don't understand or have dimensions for. So at this time I don't, but would like to add them.
Do you mean the kind that seem to screw onto the bottom of the car? I would think they would fit under and the trucks use the same mounts as normal. Did you try the Free Gondola STL to test the designs? cults3d.com/en/creations/free-40-65-n-scale-ore-gondola-for-micro-trains-couplers-a-dozen-plus-diffe What body mounts do you run?
Thanks, much appreciated :)
You're welcome! Hope you have some great trains!
Do you have a design for body mounted micro-trains couplers?
