Anyone have a couple os spare AristCraft knuckle couplers ?

[DaveB2]

Short version?..
Has anyone got a pair of Aristocraft knuckle couplers they don?t need?

Longer version?..
Earlier this year I bought an Aristocraft streamliner coach as a fixer upper project and now the evenings are getting dark earlier I've dug it out to start working on. I'm going to guess it spent some part of its life left outside and the Kadees that had been fitted were only fit for the bin. I have two other streamliners with standard couplings so I want to take this one back to standard to match them. Would anyone happen to have a couple in their bits box that they'd be willing to sell on?

Thanks

Dave

YES

I have an Aristo truck awaiting conversion to LGB couplings,
will pull the Aristocraft knuckle couplers off and stick in post Tuesday.
P.S. assume your address is still the same as last time

That's great news!

I've just been cutting up a 7up bottle for the green plastic to replace the missing "glass" in the vista-dome, which seem to work fine - ready curved too ! I also need to fix some damage to the glazing bars of the dome.
The only place I (Google) found in the UK with the things in stock was a multi-pack of a very large size, it'd work out cheaper to have bought a loco and scrap it for the couplings :-
Let me know what you want for them and I'll get something sorted out, yes still the same place but I'll drop you a PM directly.

Thanks

Two new couplings arrived today and hopefully soon my little fixer upper will be fixed up. Thanks for the help Robert.
