About this deal
Playmobil toys bring together real life themes and cheery figures for imaginative play and construction fun. Finally the new type of plug in coupling loop as used on more recent RC locos, including the Modern Yellow RC Diesel is a much more positive design that that used on earlier locos, can be obtained as a spare and can be easily plugged in as a replacement.

Re the loops on the PM loco: The earlier ones are much more prone to unwanted uncoupling than the more recent ones. The new style loop, which has been in use for some time, is designed with a thin protruding wedge moulded inside the loop that engages with the cut out at the rear of the LGB/PM style coupling hooks. This gives quite positive and secure coupling.

They are very good as you say, but it is disappointing t hear that your Stainz is accident prone. The older or simpler LGB locos are generally very kind and forgiving. The standard PM Bogie will also fit any coach or wagon, except the RCE and the Panorama Express Coach. So, if you have an old coach or wagon that takes the earlier sprung hook couplings, which are often either broken or missing, replace them with the new bogies and a pair of weighted hooks.
