Feste Dellner-Kupplungsstangen – 4 Kupplungen

5/5 - Perfect, Strong, sturdy and look the part and great value for money to.

I have used other manufacturers and had various issues, so was unsure to try something else. But I am glad I did. These are strong enough to keep long rakes together, but uncoupling is easy too.

Would I recommend - Yes
Would I buy again - yes
Have I brought again - I will be shortly after writing this review.

I bought a pack of fixed Dellner coupling bars but they are not quite what they seem! Whilst 3 were fixed together, one pair seem to have separated? Quite useful actually as my intended use is to change my class 450 to Dellner coupling, I hope they fit.

These are fantastic

I purchased these to allow me to run the full 16 car Caledonian sleeper. They were moderately easy to install and work very well.

They even allow the full rake to take on 2nd radius. Which is rather amazing.

Easy to install and a huge improvement over tension lock couplings. Quite short so don't suit all rolling stock. Seem to be well-made.

Not prototypical, but a workable coupling for double heading my nuclear trains with the magnetic couplings between wagons.

Very sturdy couplings and nice detailing on them. Great product.

Outstanding detail and required for rakes above 6-8 coaches.

They look the part and work perfectly for times when the full 16 car rake is out!

Quality product at a reasonable price postage included

These couplings look smart and are a good way of keeping a rake of Mk5s together. However, be warned! They are very hard to remove from the NEM pockets on the coaches and may come apart if pulled too hard!

The ideal solution for running large rakes of MK5 coaches. I found running 8 x Caledonian MK5 sleepers sometimes problematic with the supplied magnetic couplings where coaches could separate. Running 4-6 coaches with the magnetic couplings works fine. For added peace of mind whilst running a longer fixed rake these coupling bars work just fine.

Great couplings for long rakes of coaches. Easy to fit and look great easy to fit

Great little item that fits NEM pockets easily, and when coupled appear to have plenty of "Pulling Power", cannot wait to try on "live" consist. Real improvement on tension lock couplings. Hope the magnets last - time will tell.

I have a couple of tight corners on my layout and these couplings were perfect to help keeping all coaches connected.

Great where you wish to go both ways on the track with a DVT

Strong and good quality. These secure the sleeper coaches together without the use of magnets.

Super replacement for the magnetic couplers on large fixed rakes of the mk5 sleepers. Easy to fit and look good.

Excellent

Great for the longer rake sleeps if you don’t travel with them to shows!

Excellent couplings.

I bought these for connecting some of the Caledonian Sleeper coaches on a long rake to take the pressure off the remaining magnetic couplings. They have worked perfectly and I would thoroughly recommend them.

Big improvement for the magnetic couplers supplied with the sleepers. Function as well as good looks

As yet I haven't used these fixed couplers as I'm running various combinations of rolling stock, but I imagine they'll be every bit as good as the magnetic Dellner's I have. When I return to my normal running (i.e. when Grandson not visiting) I'll be using them, with a view to purchase more.

I bought these on a recommendation from the Accurascale team to solve a problem with the Caledonian Sleeper coaches uncoupling on my layout. They do solve this problem but it’s a bit inconvenient having rakes of coaches semi-permanently coupled together.

Strong and reliable for use on my sleeper coaches and look very smart and well made

These couplings are very sturdy, and especially good for pushing formations of vehicles with "frame mounted" couplings.
However, for "bogie mounted" couplings with NEM slide pockets, I have found that the couplings are a little too short, and cause buckling on tight curves.
Delivery wise, they came inside a very sturdy jiffy bag within the timescale shown at purchase.

Beautifully made scale couplings for fixed rakes at great price. Highly recommended. Thank you
