Heisler Coupler Conversion

[Anonymous]

I have an HO Rivarossi 2-truck Heisler (1568). I want to convert it to Kadee couplers. Has anyone done this to this loco? Which Kadee number should I use? Any difficulties I should know about before I begin? Any other advice?
Thanks,
George in New Castle, PA

Go to www.kadee.com/conv/list.htm for the KD.

If you don't understand it or can't get further help here go to www.kadee.com scroll down to Company infor and click on e-mail and up pops
KD's E-Mail form.

State your questions and address it to Sam Clark,conversion coupler specialist and he should answer you within a day, thats what he gets paid for.

There is also a conversion list in the New Walthers reference book.

I'm not familar with this style, but the chart says 32BM for a two truck.

Have you checked out McHenry MCH-56 ? [Used to be MCH-6 ].They fit most Rivarossi tenders,they just snap right in, no work required.I don't know if Heisler has same coupler pocket as the standard Rivarossi tenders, but it probably does.
