Since you now have diesel locomotives that can operate in ac conventional, tmcc/legacy, dc analog and dcc After swapping trucks on the soo car, now both on kadee trucks the couplers are back in line. Which vendors at york sell the kadee 805's Would the same vendor also carry the kadee height gauge and shims Since there was some interest expressed in the williams gp9 pilot thread here , i figured i would post some details of the design for the pilots i'm doing for my sd90 It's an old one and we've been through a lot together, lol, so it's also one of my favorites
First, a few overall views of the design The blue and gray parts are models of the existing chassis and body shell In either scale, manufacturers save money doing this by not having to support the profit margin of a third party making couplers. Fixed pilot and kadee conversion for williams engines Great idea and great work I am with hw on this one hand rails and vertical support stanchions should be next fix
I think if kadee, or any one else, would make a scale electric coupler that can be retrofitted replacing the existing claw o couplers, they may make some good money I think mth has ho electrical couplers, not sure why they don't make them o scale too. The couplers are kadee mounted for tight coupling these can be adjusted for tighter curves with different couplers However the 5 articulated coaches are more of a challenge as the trucks are shared between coaches and it looks like i would have to build new longer mounts for the shared trucks between coaches (mounts shown in last photo).
