I need some help on coupler compatibility. I have a number of Bachmann Spectrum 2-8-0 consolidations and I want to use them to pull both My Bachmann Spectrum Rolling stock as well as all my AMS Accucraft rolling stock. What coupler do I use on the consolidations to get them to mate at the same height of the Accucraft rolling stock couplers. Bachmann does not have any step up couplers, only step down couplers. I don’t want to use Kadee couplers as I would have to convert all my rolling stock to them and that would mean over 50 cars. I have more Accurcraft cars than Bachmann cars, and Have purchased more Accucraft couplers to use on the Bachmann cars.
So what couplers is everyone else using on their Connies with Accucraft cars.
Oh and on a side note. The 1:20.3 Bachmann sprectrum 2-6-0 Industrial loco looks real stupid pulling an Accucraft Jackson & Sharp Passenger car. Its small size makes it look like its 1:32 scale. I never realized how small it was until I took it out of the box. Most likely will sell it as it would look funny pulling my rolling stock. At least the original 4-4-0 and 2-6-0’s look fine with the Spectrum and Accucraft Rolling stock…
