Dummy Coupler for Lionel Trains

thingiverse

I was in need of couplers that matched my Lionel Trains for several freight and passenger cars I'm designing in Tinkercad and printing out on one of my Ender 3 machines. This coupler is essentially a dummy, non-functional model that will operate smoothly with standard Lionel train cars. The shank portion remains plain so users can modify it to fit specific fitting situations as needed. Photos show the couplers in various positions, offering plenty of play without binding up against the next car's coupler. I hope you'll enjoy working with my creation. I printed these two at a time on a Raft for added stability.
