Trains for You | HO Model Trains For all

Could you tell me if there is somewhere I can find out which Kadee coupling to use with different locos and rolling stock, I am just starting out and as my theme is NSWGR of the 60s era, I have both locos and rolling stock from diffrent manufactures. Like Lima, Life like, etc. If you could help that would be a great relief. The number of diffrent Kadee coupling available is really confusing. Cheers Allan *************************************************************************************************** Hi Allan Yes there is a lot of variation and sizes, For information on kadee couplers visit www.kadee.com where they have information and downloads on various American type. Conversion listed as pdf files For Australian equipment I suggest you ask questions and join the forum at http://www.railpage.com.au these are very knowledgeable people and may be able to help you buy asking questions. I have sold off my Australian equipment The most common coupler we sell is the good old no #5, the no 58 is the more scale size, the #148 whisker couplings are also popular. Most of the time you need to cut off the existing couple build a base, and glue screw the coupler to the right height with a 2-56 screw, and bolt, drill n tap to make the hole with a thread, match the car up to the kadee coupler height gauge, some locomotives may use the Nem type that push in to the regular coupler boxes. We can usually order any kadee item if we have none in stock, or buy locally from our local hobby shops in Sydney. Thanks again for asking. Anthony
