Excessive 0-6-0t coupler play causes frequent decoupling

Are you talking about the LC+ 2.0 0-6-0T?  If you're talking about that one, try a stiffer coupler pivot spring.  You could also put a couple of washers before the spring to give it more tension and see if that helps.

Don't know if I have the right spring so I guess I could stretch the existing one a bit.  I'll try the washers as well.  I have a lot of different small ones.

Can I just unscrew the Phillips to get at it or does it require disassembly?

Thanks,

John

I believe you can just unscrew that screw at the bottom and attempt the fix.  There is no "right" spring, I would just look through my spring box and pick on and cut it to fit.  I don't routinely try to stretch springs, I'd rather put a couple of washers in to increase the tension.
