K14-*      DELLNER COUPLINGS CLASS 57, 47 & 37 £19.99-£2.99

We have designed and 3D printed a range of Dellner couplings for Class 37, 47 and 57 engines. From the original Class 57 fitments with attached hoses, through revised versions replacing the hoses with an electric socket, to the partly removed headless and nose-housing-only variants. We've modelled "tightlock" head variations with the distinctive knuckle claw shape. For Class 37 and 47 we have two versions of hanging arms that pivot on a coupling hook.

Class 57 Dellners

For 7mm O-gauge the Class 57 designs move just like the real things, to be lowered or raised, pivoting heads and openning claws. In 4mm OO and for 2mm N-gauge the designs comes in fixed positions. The internal rods that operate the real arm motion and some of the cables and pipework are ommitted - some brass wire and black cotton thread might be used to best respresent those features.

For special request we can print the Class 57 arms for 4mm OO or 2mm N fixed in the lowered position. For those that don't want to cut off the details projecting from the back of the arms, or cut away their model buffer beam area as they should be to accomodate those features realistically, we can supply arms with flat backs and only a simple lug fitting for easier swapping over with Bachmann models, to replace the factory fitted arm parts. Just Contact Us to ask.

Parts are supplied as a pair to fit to one engine, in black, white or clear resins depending on the parts, unpainted for you to decorate as per whatever specific model is desired.

Class 37 & 47 Dellners

Europhoenix 37608, 37800 and 37884, now run by the Rail Operations Group, have been fitted at various times with unique modern Dellner coupling arms hanging from the normal coupling hooks. 37884 was changed to a "tightlock" type head.

GBRf 47749 "City Of Truro" also now carries the Dellner type first used on class 37s.

For 4mm OO and 7mm O-Gauge we have designed and 3D printed in black resin pivoting plug-in hook and arm assemblies, supplied as a pair ready to fit. For 2mm N-gauge we supply just the arm attachment printed in white resin.

All three scales are shown above where we've added some silver paint dots to highlight bolts on the real things. Both sides of the "tightlock" variant are shown below.

Three Europhoenix 37s ran with just the usual screw-link couplings prior to the fitting of the special Delner units. A different hanging coupling with the "tightlock" head was fitted to 37884 during 2017. George Dent made a moel of 37800 with the original Dellner couplings.

Notes:

If overseas shipment is required to outside of the U.K., please Contact Us first for a special price quote before ordering as international postage will be more expensive!

For special orders of Class 57 arms fixed in the lowered position or with less detailed backs with mounting lug for easier swapping with Bachmann model fittings, please Contact Us for a custom ordering link.
