Last year when my lovely ScaleTrains GP30 arrived I was incredibly excited to test out N-possible couplers…But this is not a photo of one. Rather I’ve gone backwards to go forwards and fitted Micro Trains 1015.In my search for the holy grail of reliable non-bouncing operation they seemed to offer some potential but recent trials have continued to frustrate - whereas I’ve managed to get my 1015 fitted stock working, even at slow speed switching; cars no longer bounce off down the track rather than actually coupling up!
