GeoTrax Add-on Couplers
It took forever, but here they are. The quality of the first casting was lousy, but they are up to snuff now and we’re running them nonstop on several trains! Now if I can just figure out this e-commerce thing, I’ll send you some.
Trevor can pull a train at last!
It took forever, but man it’s incredible! We’ve got hooks on the back of trains that were missing them, and loops on the front of others. We’ve got Trevor pulling cars like he should have done in the first place, and we’ve got the coolest double-headers: never before possible! If you can’t tell, this railroad household is excited. My little guy had decided that Trevor must be a “railcar” that carried passengers in the back, since he didn’t have a coupler.
A real GeoTrax double-header.
And that red engine in the picture up there is the one that started this whole thing: for some reason, he’s wanted that engine to be the second in a double-header for a long, long time. And more: couplers on trucks, couplers on trolleys. He’s in coupler heaven.
The couplers are extremely easy to install. I’ve got complete instructions, with pictures, ready to post. Stay tuned.

These look awesome … how do I get some?
The couplers have always been disappointing for such an awesome overall train set.
My son loves the videos (and they need more of them) and that sparked us to buy Woo Hoo. But the first thing I notice is that the Woo Hoo in the video has 2 loops to connect between 2 engines, which is a very useful engine (Thomas reference
.
But the Woo Hoo they produced has 2 male tips (don’t know the terminology) and it’s worthless. Huge oversight by them and has caused confusion as he tries to re-enact the video, but simply can’t.
So what I did was give him a stack of water hose gaskets (little black rubber rings) to connect trains together that have the male tips, but it’s very temporary.
If I had some of these I would re-invent WooHoo!

Hey there! In this image, what is the name of the blue train car in front??? We bought some Geotrax items from a friend and she had just this car by itself. Thanks for your help! We are new to this Geotrax stuff and was just curious.
Thanks, Kelly
