FAQs
What gauge is this coupling kit designed for?
The W&T / Smiths Fine 3 Link Coupling Kit is designed for OO gauge models.
What material are the couplings made from?
The couplings are made from brass.
How many couplings are included in the pack?
The pack contains 8 couplings.
Is any glue needed for installation?
Glue may be needed, but this depends on the model. Check your model's instructions for advice.
How can I store these couplings safely?
Store them in a safe place, away from children, to prevent damage or loss.
Are these couplings compatible with all OO gauge models?
These couplings are a standard 3 link design and are generally compatible with most OO gauge models.
Troubleshooting
Coupling is not connecting properly.
Check the alignment of the couplings on both vehicles. Ensure they are correctly positioned. Consider replacing the coupling if it is damaged.
Coupling separates during operation.
Check the tension and ensure the coupling is correctly seated. Also ensure the track is level and not causing the carriages to move abnormally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Preparation: Carefully remove the couplings from the packaging.
- Compatibility: Ensure that your rolling stock is OO gauge.
- Installation: Attach the couplings to the appropriate points on your rolling stock. This may require small amounts of glue or other fasteners (not included). Note that the installation method will depend on the specific model.
