- Hi rec.models.railroad-ers
-
- I recently bought the Atlas RSD4/5, and need to fit Kadee couplers. Does
- anybody know which couplers to use?
-
- The original NMRA couplers were attached to the body, but the plastic
- seems rather thin and flexible here. Either this would need reinforcing
- or the couplers should get attached to the chassis.
-
- The engine runs quite smoothly. I think the mechanism is Kato, but it's
- not as heavy or quiet as the Stewart F3s (also Kato). If so, it should be
- quite powerful, but because none of my stock has NMRA couplers I haven't
- seen how much it will pull. Also, I don't want to risk breaking the thin
- and flexible running board.
-
- Thanks for your help.....Chris Lee
