I have a nice old TM 800 with old style coupler and cars with mixed ols and newer style. I also have have the adjustment gauge but can't seem to get the hang of bending the coupler components correctly.

I have a gauge and supporting document. All of my marklin engines and carriages are pre 70s and i am working through them slowly. Regards Ken

		Sad when its cheaper to buy a new 29640 starter set from Germany than a CS2 on its own in Oz, welcome to the joys of Marklin down under .

Regards Ken The document i have has been attached by another group member. This should get you the usage of the gauge. To set the height, I bend the coupling up or down at the coupling bend adjacent the carriage or engine, this if outboard of the coupling attachment pin. Use needle nose pliars and hold the coupling firmly to body attachment point. To set the 12 to 15 degree angle on coupling, I have made a guide from cardboard with a vertical line from the base and two lines - one at 12 degrees and one at 15 degrees. I hold behind the gauge and coupling to see that i am in between the two angled lines. If not, use the needle nose pliars and bend the coupling buffer forward or rearward until you achieve the 12 to 15 degree recommended angle. Regards ken
