Dear all. Just three questions. I have a Roco ferry wagon with Marklin couplers, which will not run without derailing unless you push the buffers up a little, so the Marklin couplers don't catch them and cause it to get pushed off?. This happens on Marklin K track curves 2 and 3?
Will this happen with Roco locos coupled to Marklin wagons??
And my final question is, can you uncouple Roco close couplers with a Marklin uncoupling ramp?? Tar Dan

Hi, Dan,

Märklin couplers are too large - Roco couplers do not collide with the buffers.

The Märklin uncoupling ramp should be able to uncouple Roco close couplers. Roco Universal couplers may be a better choice for Märklinists.
