Are replacement AZL couplers available anywhere?
If so, where can I purchase a set or two at?
If not, Anyone got any tips for converting to Micro Trains couplers?
I need
one for AZL Bay Window Caboose #92006-2
and one for AZL Beer Car #91264-1
I managed to brake one knuckle end off on each car in a derailment. (my Fault)
The coupler pockets on both cars are just fine.

Probably your best bet would be to contact their distributor ztrack. Monster Z stocks the trucks with couplers for about $2 ea. I haven't tried an MTL conversion (although I plan to) but it seems like its just a matter of popping open the coupler pocket.

You might try Zscale Monster trains. Tony has just about everything you need for most manufacturers including AZL. Not sure of the price though.

Oh no! I am sorry to hear about the couplers. We do not have just replacement couplers available. We do offer the trucks with couplers as a replacement. I believe for the beer car, you will need the 90004 11.5 mm shank truck set. The caboose would be the 90011 Bettendorf trucks.
Another option is to pickup a pack of the 90001 Roller bearing trucks and just pull the couplers from them. The 90001 is the best value as you get 6x trucks to the package.
These are available through any AZL dealer.

Thanks for the Info.
Now that I know their available and where to get them I'll be adding a few extra sets of each to my next order.
As they say Accidents Happen and It's not likely to be my last. So having a few spare parts on hand is probably a good idea.
Again Thanks for the info
