SYMOBA NEM Coupling Conversions
System Starter set (No. 120)

SYMOBA produce a range of easy to fit components to add NEM compatible coupler pockets to rolling stock.

This starter pack is ideal for general OO/HO use, and contains everything needed to fit both ends of 3 locomotives or items of rolling stock, including full pictorial instructions .
All contents of this pack are available separately, and also in bulk packs.

Pack contents:
3 pairs of coupling sliders (No. 111)
2 pairs each of each NEM pocket (Nos. 103, 107 and 110)
2 of each drawbar (Nos. 104 and 108)
1 Height gauge (No. 102).

I started with this Start Set, and then I went on to two bulk packs ref 203. So, I must have done over 20 vehicles with these. They are really very good. A big plus is the ability to set the height of the coupling at exactly the right height. Brilliant.Also, I can then use tension lock or Kadees etc, in fact anything which fits an NEM box.I have not cut any floors yet. If the bogies were prevented from turning I cut back the bogie frame - something which manufacturers are now doing too. Sometimes I had to cut off some (invisible) detail under some wagons.So these things get you through in many difficult situations.

converted a rake of bullied coaches and they worked very well, giving the same performance as the latest Hornby coach couplings (as on their Maunsell coaches).My only gripe is that the spring can be easily 'unhooked' if the slider base (111) is flexed in a tight fitting hole. Better to leave a small gap all round if fitting that way and fill with epoxy. (I had to cut the floors and fit flush to leave room for the wheels to rotate sideways around bends.)
