Please, I'm trying to find coupler height standards for 2.5" scale/7.5" gauge. I know many use IBLS wheel standards, but what about the couplers? Rail height to coupler centre would be very useful. Are there 'Standards' posted somewhere?
Thank you,
Zoë

middle of the coupler pocket is 4 5/16" to top-of-rail while the car (or locomotive) is loaded.Typically, loaded cars from unloaded cars move 1/8" if they are sprung properly. Which means for cars carrying passengers or ballast, make the coupler centerline 4 7/16". Don't have any other info myself.

If i were rich this is a hobby I'd enjoy. It is fascinating to watch these run. I guess i have to settle for my Lionel trains during rhe holiday season. Even they are now very expensive too however!

You actually can be penniless and enjoy this hobby if there is a club nearby. If you join and get involved with the club, come out and do some trackwork and generally make yourself useful, it won't be long before someone is showing you the ropes a club steam engine. :)

The locomotive at 1:40 is an Allen Models Chloe. You can buy the Castings and plans from Gene Allen, or there is one currently for sale ready to run on the Discover Live Steam website's forsale pages.
