An etch of 32 mounting plates, designed for use with the AC3/1, AC3/3, AC4/1 and AC4/3 autocouplings.

The mounting plates simplify the fitting of the couplings to both ready-to-run and kit-built rolling stock, and also enable the AC3/1 and AC3/3 couplings to be used on curves down to 2ft radius, compared with the normal recommended minimum of 4ft. They also enable the AC4/1 and AC4/3 couplings to be used on curves below 2ft radius.

Please note that the plates are unsuitable for use with AC3/1 and AC3/3 when these couplings are used in 3mm scale.

The actual size of the fret is 82 x 102½mm; it is etched in 0.015" brass. Each mounting plate is 22mm wide x 8mm deep.
