These are 'the hard bits', as Tomix uses a different coupler
pocket than other Japanese manufacturers, which is also mounted
rather low. With care most Tomix models can be converted to MT
couplers. My most sincere thanks go to Phil Hendry and Garth
Hamilton, as they provided me very useful information on
conversions I have not done until now.
As on the other pages, I will give a few examples that are
typical for the Tomix range.

Both conversions are relatively easy, precluded that you
already have some experience, the DE10 conversion is a little more
complicated.
