NOTE: NEM HO Scale and OO Scale couplers are supposed to be mounted at HO Scale coupler height using a #206 coupler height gauge.
Most late model RTR European Locos and Rolling Stock come equipped with "NEM" style couplers.


*Our conversion’s based on NEM standard pockets, there may be inconsistencies in a model’s production run that require a different coupler or model modifications to achieve the proper coupler height for coupler function.

** Metal Coupler Note: It is not recommended to use a metal coupler directly on a metal surface to avoid the possible electrical crossover or shorting that may cause damage.
