Hi All,
I have inherited a H.O set that was partially started. My father ha)d built around 30 car's or so. I thought it would be nice to set up for my 2 year old son and just simply run a circle around the christmas tree. I bought a transformer and some track. The couplers on the Athern cars are the ones with the metal hooks on them (maybe x2f, I 'm not up on couplers yet) If I try to put any kind of speed to the trains (on 1 engine and 3 cars) they become uncoupled. I guess my question is, is there any trick to coupling that I am not doing. Do I interlock the metal hooks on each car before coupling? What is the purpose of that hook that seems to just hang there?
Any help would be great
Thanks Joe
