Experimental NEM 362 Hornby / Lima Compatible HO/OO 1:87 Coupler / Coupling

thingiverse

Firstly, approach with caution as this is a pioneering attempt to create a compatible replacement coupler. Although it can be used in place of existing rolling stock or locomotives, its primary purpose is for individuals to use when coupling printed HO/OO scale models with their current ones. I designed this by referencing the NEM 362 standard and photographs of actual couplers - unfortunately, I don't have a model railroad to test this coupling on, so feedback is greatly appreciated. It's likely that the parts are not precisely sized and may require fine-tuning by about a millimeter or so. The filenames aren't ideal, but "Coupler v2" is a slightly upscaled version for a tighter fit in the NEM pocket. Secondly, take a look at the instructions page. Requires an NEM 362 pocket to fit.
