Hornby R7398 00 Buckeye Magnetic Coupler, 16-Pack – Realistic coupling solution for British model trains

Would you like to give your Intercity train set an authentic look while also using a functional coupling solution? Then the Hornby R7398 Buckeye Magnetic Coupler is exactly the accessory your model railroad has been missing. This coupler set delivers maximum realism and fits perfectly with your 1:76-scale Mark 3 or Mark 4 cars.

Discreet, functional, and true to scale

The traditional tension coupler is often a necessary evil—functional, but visually unappealing. The R7398 magnetic coupler from Hornby, on the other hand, is modeled after the original Buckeye couplers used on the British main line and brings the look and feel of real Intercity trains—such as the 125 or 225—directly to your layout. In 1:76 scale (Gauge 00), this accessory ensures a consistent, prototypical appearance.

Fully pre-assembled—ready to use right away

Want to upgrade your models with minimal effort? No problem! The couplers are fully assembled and require no further assembly. Just plug them in—done! Thanks to the standardized NEM mounting, replacement is quick and easy. In no time at all, you’ll enjoy an upgraded look for your entire train set.

Design, Dimensions, and Material

Finished in simple black, the couplers blend discreetly into the car’s appearance without drawing attention to themselves. With compact dimensions of just 9 x 1 x 12.5 cm and a weight of only 10 grams, the set is easy to handle yet sturdy enough for continuous use on your layout. The magnetic connection offers both flexibility and a reliable link between the cars.
