Does this N scale train use the old rapido couplers or newer type Bachmann knuckel couplers?

they use the newer Knuckle" couplers..and to be honest they dont hold as good..very delicate.One of the sets came with extra couplers..I have a medium size layout..When i turn my layout on 3 trains run around on their own lines..With those "new" couplers i had to chase down the cars that came loose..I switched all my couplers to the older "Horn Hook / Rapido" couplers.I know their not as Detailed..but i enjoy my layout alot more ..Hope this helps..Feel free to Email me about Bachmann Train stuff..I've been play'n with their products for 20yrs...

The rolling stock come assembled with the new dummy knuckle couplers, but Rapido couplers are also included in the set (in a separate little bag, not on the trains).

My set came with knuckles...I think this set can be had with Rapido couplers as an option.

Hi, I believe that the Super Chief is coupled using the newer type Bachmann knuckel couplers. I also thought that it is possible to interchange with old rapido couplers....I keep my train hobby going between the newer Bachmann and try to find older rapido parts...I enjoy the Super Chief!!!

The track connecting points do not line up and the track rails are narrower then the Little Tykes tracks. Even though it says it is compatible it's really not.

Hi Sarah,I cannot give a positive answer as I do not know, but several manufacturers of these wooden tracks use the same interconnection standards. All I do know is that we bought wooden track and accessories from at least two manufacturers and they all fitted together. Hope this helps. Regards, Marcus R.

I don't know Chuggington,but my grandson has Thomas and I have original Brio trains and that is what I bought the tracks for and they work very well with my Brio tracks.

I used it with HO scale. Although I had both O and G scale trains at the time. I only used it with my HO layout. Jerry

This is HO gauge. This type of track I believe is not compatible with 30 plus year old HO track.

No, they work for the wooden and trackmaster trains though. The the metal take n plays are not wide enough.

I have a few of the style that you are referring to - they all have "Kwik" engraved (i believe they are called Kwik Change) in them and seem to not be available on Amazon. Also, they have 2 bars instead of balls inside the coupler.

Earl, It is compatable as far as gage, however it snaps together with adjoing track rather using the copper/ brass connectors. It is also mounted on a track bed.I have HO Bachmann track and it connects much better than the old type. The rerailer that you asked about also is pre-wired (no soldering).Hope this answers your question.Bob

Yes, it is called Bachmann Trains Snap-Fit E-Z Track 9? Straight Terminal Rerailer. Do an Amazon search for "Bachmann terminal rerailer". That is how I found it. Also, you can read my review about these tracks. They are SUPER GREAT.

No. Not even close. Go to eBay and look. That's where I had to get mine. I even tried perego. Bottom line is perego told me since they stopped the train production for a few years and just reintroduced it. They stopped the figure 8. I bought this and returned it.

For HO trains, Nickel Silver track (don't buy the cheap stuff), Nickel Silver Power Terminals about every 10" and Power Extension Wire. By using those items, my train has now run flawlessly for over four years. I love it. If you go cheap, you will not enjoy. I used Bachman, but there are others out there.

They sell a track adapter here on amazon.com: "Life-Like Trains Power-Link HO Scale Track - Adapter, Steel." So you can connect your Bachmann EZ tracks to this set.

Hi Mariane, the model you are referring to looks exactly like the one I own. The coupler I purchased fits perfectly and works great. FYI, you might want to purchase the small wrench/tool as well, it is simple to use and in my opinion, a must have.

i would recommend the HO and the easy fitting Snap-Fit tracks. I have track, engines and rolling stock from Triang days, right through to the present Bachmann. The current track with ballast is the best and easiest to operate with. The detail on the HO scale is much better than the N scale. Time passes and the eyes begin to change, thus the HO is better and easy to see..

I do not think so. These tracks are compatible with the smaller die cast take n play trains
