I've successfully glued couplings with two part epoxy. We have a Gordon that came to us with a broken coupling. This coupling was glued about 3-4 years ago. It's been played with with no concern of being nice to the coupling. This epoxy works! Not just any epoxy, this stuff!

Here's the patient.
I've saved quite a few toys with this epoxy!
