[S-Scale Modeling] FP-7 Couplers

I just received an ABA set of FP-7's from American Models. The B unit had coupler pads on either end with predrilled holes for Kadee style couplers. I mounted a pair of SHS short body couplers without problem. However, the A units have talgo mounting and no pads. I don't see how a pad could be

Re: [S-Scale Modeling] FP-7 Couplers

Larry, American Models must have downgraded their AP-7's. I have two from the very first run and they have pads set up for the #5 coupler box, in fact Ron supplied them with the kits. The mounts are on both ends and are part of the zamac frame. Very interesting!! Bob Werre Larry

RE: [S-Scale Modeling] FP-7 Couplers

Larry, Very true from an EMD standpoint. However, when the Louisville Nashville merged with/absorbed the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis in 1957, the acquired B units all had steam generators (LN's did not) and were classified internally as FP7B until the generators were removed in later

Re: [S-Scale Modeling] FP-7 Couplers

I checked my ancient (cast metal truck frames) FP7 and found short pads on both ends of the floor casting that fit Kadee #5 couplers. I suggest you email Ron at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and ask what he recommends. It seems like one could build a pad of epoxied sheet styrene to mount your choice of

Re: [S-Scale Modeling] FP-7 Couplers

You might want to look at the mounting bracket that Don Thompson uses on his F3/7 units. Check out his part number 00588. They require a couple of screw holes be drilled in the frame but they come with the short shank coupler already mounted on them. Bill O. [Non-text portions of this

After I wrote this I remembered that I used regular viscosity super glue to bind the styrene layers when building up some truck boldters and it works better then epoxy for me. Chuck Smith: - Original Message - From: Chuck Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: S-Scale@yahoogroups.com; Larry

[S-Scale Modeling] Freight trucks question?

Hi All, I've got a pair of diecast trucks with a problem, they look like andrews style, they may be American models or perhaps SHS, I can't remember who I got them from. Maybe some of you experienced guys will recognize the description? They have a pin on the sideframes that goes down thru
