Williams Passenger car coupler fix...

Postby philo426 » Fri Jul 16, 2021 1:21 pm

I recently obtained an older Williams NYC Passenger car and had a problem with de- coupling.I noticed that the rivited coupler had excessive up and down play so I used a nail set to tighten the rivet.Problem solved!

Good job!

You've solved for yourself what might have been 3 pages of never ending hand wringing over on OGR, :mrgreen:

Some other forums seem to have members whose only only solution would be to return it to the dealer/seller because of this defect.
