Which Micro-Trains Couplers Should Be Utilized As OEM Replacements?

[pmpexpress]

Having purchased a bunch of rolling-stock with damaged factory installed Micro-Trains couplers, I’m needing to find out which coupler stock numbers were originally supplied with the following models:

BLMA ACF F89-J 89’ Flatcar

Micro-Trains 89’ Flatcars (i.e., the later releases with body mounted couplers)

Wheels of Time Baggage Cars

Missing their original wheel-sets (which I had planned on upgrading to metal wheels), I’m also needing the axle length for the aforementioned baggage cars.

Having checked the Internet without any success, does anyone have any of the Micro-Trains Line 003 02 185 - Pullman Standard (with centrally located bolster hole) or Wheels of Time 6-Wheel Passenger Car Trucks in stock?

According to this table on the ESMC web site, the Wheels of Time cars take 0.540" axle-length wheelsets.

Thanks...

As I didn't know ESCM had a Wheelsets Compatibility Chart on their site, have gone ahead and saved the link that you so kindly provided.

My BLMA TOFC cars look like 1016s.  Straight shank, no offset, but longer than a 1015.

All of my MT TOFC had the odd "swinging body mounts", which I fixed solid.  Those were a special design, MTL-001-02-008 (MTL-1019), and I don't know if the coupler itself was sold separately.

Thanks for your assistance.

Will go ahead and purchase some 1016s for the BLMA flats.

Rechecked all of the damaged 89' MTL flatcars from my turbine blade sets and found that as you stated, they still have drawbars with attached coupler boxes.

Although the 1019 couplers were not sold without the drawbars, having found that they are still available for sale as two pair sets, in order to complete the necessary repairs I will go ahead and buy several packages of them.
