The Bachmann 36-025 Mini Loop Screw-On Couplings are designed for model railway enthusiasts who require a reliable and unobtrusive connection system for their rolling stock. These short-type couplings offer a tighter interval between cars, enhancing the visual realism of your train consist; however, they require careful installation and may not be compatible with all track radii or specialized rolling stock.

Each pack contains 10 units.
These are designed for screw-on mounting; they may fit other brands if they utilize a matching screw-mount system, but check your specific rolling stock chassis.
The short version minimizes the distance between coupled cars for a more realistic, prototypical appearance.
You will need a small precision screwdriver appropriate for the mounting screw.
Yes, they utilize the standard loop-and-hook system, so they are compatible with most standard couplings found on model trains.
Check that the coupling has enough lateral movement and ensure your track radius is not too tight for the short-type design.
Loosen the mounting screw slightly to allow the coupling to pivot freely on its mount.
To install these couplings, use a precision screwdriver to attach the unit to the coupling pocket mount on your rolling stock. Ensure the screw is tightened sufficiently to hold the coupling in place but not so tight that it prevents the mechanism from pivoting freely during turns.
Compatibility is focused on rolling stock featuring a screw-on mounting point, typical of many Bachmann models. For care, keep the loop and hook areas free of dust or debris, which can cause erratic coupling behavior or sticking. If the coupling becomes bent, it is best to replace it rather than attempt to re-bend the metal, as structural integrity is paramount to preventing train separation.
