HO / Re: Couplers
December 27, 2010, 10:50:48 AM
John...I just asked someone with more knowledge than me...he said that most replacements can be made with Kadee's 148 whisker. It will fit in the Bachmanns coupler box...but if it dose not, CAREFULLY file it down till it slips in. Also give it a good puff of Kadee Greas-em, that should do the trick!!!!

John...look at this site....www.kadee.com/conv/holift.pdf
Kadee makes couplers for most any rolling stock, and loco's... most rolling stock takes a #5.
For prototypical....#58 and #158
You should get a gauge also, you may have to put a shim in or two.
Hope this helps out a little.

HO / New trucks for tender????
December 27, 2010, 06:00:17 AM
I was given a brand new, USRA 0-6-0 w/sloped tender, from Santa. Straight DC. The trucks and wheels on the tender are plastic, and it dose not run well on my layout. I have added a little weigh, and still have this problem. Everything else runs great. I want to change the trucks and wheels,(metal) but being very new to this hobby, I do not know what to buy. Could you please recommend a set I could order, with the same couplers. Or do I just need to change the wheels to metal ones? If so, what brand and size?

Thank you;

Robert
