Contact Kadee at www.kadee.com

review a list of your cars against the listings of their couplers. they sell several different couplers, actually the same coupler with several different mountings. this is done because different makers have different mountings and the specific mounts assure that cars will couple without any headaches.

   Have fun with your trains

In addition to the www.kadee.com they also have a coupler conversion site.
www.kadee.com/conv/list.htm

Also take a look at http:www.nmra.org/beginner/couplers.html

You will also need a KD height gauge, product # 205 and a KD trip pin pliers, product # 237 that you can see on their site. Just scroll down thru the product #s and click.

On the left hand side of the keyboard there is a button third from the bottom.

It has the words "caps lock" on it.

Push it once (and only once).

Thanks.

Please, no caps man. On the internet, using all capital letters means that you'r yelling .
Nobody like getting yelled at.
