Kadee question?

GerryOGR Forum Member

Installed my first Kadees (#805) on older Atlas gondolas last night. Went pretty well and very happy with the more scale look to the cars. One small problem is they are too close together even when run on curves over 072 in size. The cars actually slightly touch each other. Can I buy a longer armed coupler which will give me slightly more space in between? I don't want to move the coupler box further out. Right now it is flush with the end of the car. If anyone knows which part number it would be I'd appreciate knowing. Thanks!

First, you need to post your questions about Kadee couplers, over on the 3RS Forum. The folks over there will help you.

Second, if you visit the Kadee site, you will see that Kadee offers different length shank couplers in the 740 series line.

Third, why do you think that the cars are too close together? I have ALL my freight rolling stock up-graded to Kadee body mounted couplers, and have not had any problems on 072 and larger curves.

Thanks for the information.

The corners of the cars are touching on curves.
