brtrainz Has any one[size=small] bought part # R9237-9079 from the Fisher-Price parts store?[/size] [size=small]If so do the hooks have the larger or smaller sized mounting hole?[/size]
brtrainz Thanks chrisjo but the reason I didn't direct link is because it gives an error if you haven't already entered the site from this link: https://store.mattel.com/transition.aspx?cmd=new&transitionid=103&cat=139&sec=10796 Here's the image with most of the white cropped out (which doesn't show the hole size, should have posted this earlier): They're the coupler type used on Harvey's coach and motorized tenders. If no one has an answer I'll probably just buy a couple sets anyway and find out for myself.
Super I am not aware of these having anything but the normal sized holes. These are great to have on hand and of course can change the battery box Cars and coaches to a normal hook in front coupling on back set up.
brtrainz Well, I feel like bit of an idiot.... The car I was trying to convert (a loose tinplate C53 tender) has a larger than normal front post. So the car is odd not the couplers I have. I'm still pretty sure I DID take a hook with a larger hole off a junk tender a couple weeks ago but can't find it at the moment. Thanks all.
Super How much bigger could it be. I would think you could ream out the hole of those hooks unless the post is very much bigger. If you find it come back and show us please.
leylandvictory2 this seller's offering definitely fit on trackmasters. Ebay seller Totally Thomas should have them too. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/NEW-A-Pair-of-Replacement-Hook-Coupler-AUTHENTIC-Tomy-Trackmaster-Thomas/113918435117?_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item1a86115f2d:g:EpkAAOSw0-NdndKM&enc=AQAEAAACQBPxNw%2BVj6nta7CKEs3N0qXUV4UtiRep0xLZTz0V%2Ff3C1YUpT%2FIZbo9mxUxVLtoBlp4Bav5ZLAc7vtc%2FW27PBPMORsrvFJMw59iFQDn7BT6OdQkw6tVwmE%2FtEEFrTWqy%2BkisND%2F8KY4CkTQDjAlnZLyd5UzlzJ2%2Bi17O5CNDqHkbxCSsOIkHKOXPLvceJ5XFWL5mTRcBPe9itLH%2BnWP9H%2FTeL0rmEwIoqL3342Ryu3O1O8CQTSQYoPwklAsmoWbzgLuQEL3H8VCn0yoxmSYce6b6hpDoe8YOzVTLufrr5N1lyVjJyof5w7aG0NI8jgolxhEV%2F5hCSQyXkzRGQ1JLzuE%2B%2FI9lr6RIqtn%2BMIR15a7KAg3kQX9hdAcOMlHnPx1oVTvEW%2Bu3uz5R8%2FdcywVr21ChrtFH3%2FhqsB1dSMVEuGrpZBCQqSLHZSX%2BxcD0hdNd45lOGxwg2XZOzEV86f%2B2bSxyDn2s7UvPoMtv0KmsdizsV4JnyBLwJ37zKseWnHMvam%2F96D3vFObScFn5UWRmb4expZHgv%2BugxetxOZO4idCZjRc8EJaszny76JAhDtyNnbUTDBu04BcAnfatOz0UZmb5mlASPCeTLt6XmBBgr6tnOgcgxIuHF1xMGGxxJJeBPAIA7cR%2Fm8KjM3YzxsjRh8U4Ec3Lec9VpaNqT33sRcAx5dkc3hipPP1njlf5pMlUkbrkQa6CsMg9mKAGoX7xSzwT9KMrElNMugbNJxcVsAs1D%2FYQUx69zPg0hxZAzTMlsQ%3D%3D&checksum=113918435117138e00cae3024eb1a1d07d13561af500
brtrainz Disassembled a Splish, Splash, Splosh! Emily tender and found it has the larger hole hook coupler so here's a photo comparison: Turns out it's still not quite big enough for the C53 tender so reaming a larger hole it is.
