Have you checked Kadee's web site to see if their type 1833 will fit?

Thanks for the help,but this is the moderen 4 axle ore car US type.The Kadee 830 coupler would be nice but the draft gear box is much to big to alow for the trucks to turn.Thanks again for the help Toad,and cacole.

"David",

On most LGB freight cars with 4 wheel trucks our #831 will fit on the truck's mounting arm. If you wish to body mount a coupler and the #830 is too wide, you might try to notch the sides of the #830 box for wheel clearance or you might try the narrower #789 coupler. The #789 is like the #835 only with a tail on the box that will be eaiser to keep secure.
