D4.2.1.7 DATA SHEET COUPLINGS (AUTO) Compiled by Bob Alderman The Alex Jackson Auto Coupler Supplier - There is no commercial supplier for this coupling. It is a 100% do-it-yourself installation. Details can be found from the Manchester Model Railway Society or as listed below in Other Comments. Description: A cantilevered wire hook of established Compatibility with scale couplings: As originally geometry that interacts with an identical hook on the proposed for 7mm use the hook was not compatible opposite vehicle with scale couplings. The subsequent developments with magnetic uncoupling do allow its use with basic 3 Method of operation: The hook geometry is such that link, but screw link couplings can impair operation. when stock is brought together the lower part of one hook over-rides the other establishing the link between Minimum recommended operating radius: 4 feet. the vehicles. Smaller radii can be used but will increase the Uncoupling is carried out by a vertical displacement overhang of the hook from the vehicle. This will be of the hook. This disengages the hooks and on return to limited to the appearance of the gap between vehicles. the nominal position the hook has relocated to the Buffer locking will be a limiting factor to track opposite side of the hook shank. Stock can then be geometry. propelled
