Needed some Dapol couplings having bought a bargain job lot of 5 Dapol wagons for £5 on eBay. Needed 3 pairs for this, but also wanted a stock for other projects.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
These couplings were not designed well, the hook has a tendency to drop. off and unless glued in place the whole coupling occasionally becomes detached from the vehicle they are fitted to. They are, however, all that is available as a direct replacement for Airfix (GMR) and some older Dapol & Bachmann model railway items, without modification. These are probably the main reasons why replacement couplings are needed. With careful handling and installation though, a DROP of glue to hold the coupling in place and use with care & respect, they will do the job. THIS IS NOT A SUPPLIER FAULT, this is a problem with the original design.

I nearly always use these for my 3D-printed wagons. Occasionally the hook can be a little stiff, but working it back and forth with a tiny bit of lubrication seems to do the trick. As long as I get the mounting height correct they seem to couple and uncouple nicely. For the price, the quality fits the bill.

Couldn't tell from the photo but tese couplings were smaller than I thought and don't match the Hornby ones. So, no good for me but fine if they are the ones for you.
