LocoWorks - Odin goes battery/RC [3] .. couplings go on ...

Today worked on the couplings ..

Firstly the chunky buffers were removed and plasticard overlays added to cover up the neatish 'hack'. Then I fitted the front chopper coupling and brake hose, then put in the rear pivot coupling (both saved from the old loco setup).

Front coupling...

rear pivot coupling...
tender wire hook pivot coupling...
checking for clearance around radius 1 curves .... ( I always leave about 0.5 cm gap on the near side)
