Easi-Shunt

[Ed-Farms]

Has anyone tried and succeeded to fit the easi shunt couplings to the 45XX yet? I have a couple and want to use these couplings on my layout for ease of uncoupling at shows. I have a few other engines that should be a doddle to do but I understand these don't have the pockets and can't imagine there is a lot of room under the body for a pocket to be fitted

It's sometimes possible to bodge the existing sockets to take an Easi-shunt. Otherwise you may be able to replace them using the Dapol Easi-Shunt conversion kit 2A-000-009. If you make a hash of it DCC Concepts stock spare 45xx bogies.

Thanks Longbow, I will take a look at how I can do it with them might take a bit of time but it will be done
