Does anybody know where you can buy couplers for a willaims diesel engines. I don't find any on their parts site. I would like to buy some to fix an old engine. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Thanks I will. I was going to call today but couldn't get time.
It depends on how old the engine is as well. Are these unique couplers? I've done conversions on Williams engines to command, and many of them have standard style couplers that could be replaced with MTH or Lionel couplers.
A Lionel coupler should work if you can not find the Williams coupler. The shaft size on certain diesel engines may need to be measured very close, to within a sixteenth of an inch. I have four SD-45's and their couplers almost look like Lionel but wait until you look at the bottem side, Williams has a spring assembly that is quite large compared to Lionel.
I have replaced a Williams passenger car truck assembly but no coupler only for any Williams.

I got a hold of Charlie Phillips today. He is sending me a couple of couplers today. I want to thank you all for introducing me to such a fine gentlemen . I hope to meet him in about three weeks at the train show in Hamburg new york. Hope you all are staying warm. We are very cold here.
