Loop and pin

For Sale/Trade/Wanted
#1

I am looking for 12 set of loop and pin coupler. For old logging railroad, to give it the original look.
I think that is what they are called.

Link and Pin is the correct term. None to sell, but Ozark sells white metal versions, nice, durable but a bit pricey. Then theres a chap on Ebay is Sri Lanka of all places that sells black plastic version, 6 to a pack for like $6 or something. I have some of these, very nice, especially for the money. He makes them for 16mm scale folks so they are just a tad bit larger than the ozark stuff, but believe me, the Ozarks can be very hard to couple with their small size, get yourself a nice long tweezer, you’ll need it.

No wander they were trying to sell me Velcro.

Well, I had the foresight to save it. For $5.50, you get enough of the plastic link and pin pockets for 6 cars. On the same page, is a link to the links and pins for $5.50 for the same 6 cars. Why they weren’t bundled together is a mystery.
