Where can I find N gauge couplers for model trains?
Hi – I am building an N-gauge model train layout for Christmas. I bought a handful of cars for my train, only to find that there are THREE different types of couplers. How can I standardize – and I do NOT want to go they magnetic route.

You dont have to buy any if you set them up right. You can set up conversion cars. I dont know what kind of couplers you have but I suspect you have rapido and most likely a micro trains type coupler. You can pull off the truck and coupler off one end of the car and put it on the end of the car ahead of it. Most are just held in with a pin or small screw so it’s not hard to take them off and substitute them. I have microtrains and rapidos on all my n scale cars (over 100) and it’s never an issue.

Do a websearch for "Great models webstore" I think they carried a selection of components for model trains.Hope it helps.
