VentureForth Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Hi. I have an old C50 by Kato that I bought ay a LHS near 30 years ago in Japan. Over time I lost the coupler between the loco and tender. Anyone know if there is a replacement part availablein the US? Link to comment
Ochanomizu Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Hello Mr VentureForth, So sorry you have lost the coupler of your C50. Such a part will be difficult to find, even in Japan. I suggest you contact Kato Models USA: http://www.katousa.com/ I wish you good luck. Link to comment
keitaro Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 you won`t find that part except on another of the same model. my advice is to find a hook ring coupler / power ring coupler from tomix and modifiy it to fit on that loco. Link to comment
VentureForth Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 I have an email into Kato Japan via Kato USA. No reply yet. :( Link to comment
cteno4 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 looks like you may be able to fashion one yourself with a bit of styrene strip and small screws. jeff Link to comment
