Coupler Pockets

First pair of coupler pockets for the ride-on cars. 40x40mm outside 32x32mm inside. 1/4" pins, per AALS  5"gauge standards. The mounting holes are 70mm between centres for 1/4" HT bolts through the buffer beam. Height above rail top 3 1/4" or 82.5mm to the centre of the pocket...  Like this...






Shows the different colour too, Heritage Red semi-gloss (on the drawbar/ coupling bar) to Indian Red full gloss. The drawbar will probably end up shorter too.
