Hi, I need to find the Kadee coupler and extension that fits on the 4 wheel trucks for the Con-Cor streamline passenger cars. The Kadee coupler "extension" (I call it) is connected to the truck by carefully sliding the extension under the bottom of the truck and then it "clips" to the truck by way of two prongs on the extension, but still allows it to move freely from side to side. This extension is 1.5" and the coupler is actually part of the extension shaft, not added. I'm familiar with the Athearn ones that you can easily add the coupler to the end of the truck extension when using Athearn, but this is different. I've checked the Kadee and ConCor web site, but cannot find them. I know someone has made them at one time becuase I have two of them. Anyone know where I might find these? I need 7 sets of this extension with those Kadee's connected on each one. Photos shown below. Thanks for checking.

The term you need to search for is Talgo truck adapter. Kadee still makes them for freight trucks. How long has it been since Con-Cor imported Talgo-trucked passenger cars? The item you seek may be discontinued.
UPDATE: Searched a little more for images like yours and couldn't find anything immediately to do with Con-Cor. However, did find a McHenry coupler that might work. Search for McHenry Part # MCH-52.

Mike, you are correct. I found the number (MCH-52) on the shaft. I thought the couplers were Kadees, but McHenry will do. I was able to find several sources on line. Thanks for your information. Stay safe and enjoy trains.
Glad to be assistance. Being able to help each other virtually is one thing we can do safely in these troubled times.
