NEM coupling pockets x10 – OO / 4mm scale

These NEM coupling pockets are an ideal solution for converting older models to the modern NEM coupling standard. Each pocket comes with four mounting holes, allowing for flexible placement to accommodate different bogie positions, as some locomotives and coaches have their bogies set further back than others. The pockets can be easily trimmed along the moulded lines, offering a perfect fit for your specific needs.

Designed to be compatible with all NEM couplings, including Kadee sprung magnetic NEM couplings (sizes 17, 18, 19, and 20), these pockets eliminate the need for fiddly draft gearbox conversions, streamlining the process of upgrading your rolling stock. The pockets can be securely glued or screwed into place, although screws and glue are not included in the kit. Detailed instructions are provided, ensuring a smooth and straightforward installation process.

Each pack contains 10 NEM pockets, which is enough to convert 5 wagons or coaches (using both ends) or up to 10 locomotives if only one end requires detailing. These pockets are compatible with a wide range of manufacturers, including Lima, Hornby, Wrenn, Dapol, Mainline, Replica, Airfix, and many more. They are also suitable for kit-built wagons from brands such as Parkside, Coopercraft, and Cambrian, and can even be incorporated into scratch-built rolling stock projects.

Photographs in the product description show the pockets attached to a Lima Class 73 using the bogie frame retaining screw and a Lima CCT with the pocket glued to the underside, demonstrating their versatility and ease of use.

In summary, this conversion kit is a practical and versatile option for modelers looking to modernize their older stock with NEM-compatible couplings.
