This is not too exciting but I have been putting scale couplers on my freight cars. I love the SHS #01295 KD style couplers. They look great and are so easy to apply to the SHS freight cars. And its so quick. I have run into a batch of L&N boxcars that I have been unable to loosen the screws that attach the trucks. But I am sure I can do it when I find the right Phillips style screwdrive. I am procrastinating on my AM cars because I see it is going to be a lot harder to apply Kadee style couplers to those, especially if I cannot find a way to attach the SHS #01295s to them. Seems it takes a wider screw that will not penetrate the opening in the #01295s. I have assembled the Kadee 802s in the past so I know I can do these if I have to, but I have misplaced a special little tool that Don Thompson gave me many years ago. It is a little surgical tool of some type that helps hold the KD coupler to the coupler box while you go crazy putting the spring in. This tool is like having a third hand which all model railroaders need. Another challenge is going to be adding the scale couplers to the locos. I am sorry to learn that someone quit but I did not read it. I deleted most of the emails today because they looked like they did not amount to much or were technically over my head. Someday I will try to explore the weeeeki thing but not today. - Earl Henry, Music City In a message dated 2/20/2008 7:35:52 P.M. Central Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Hi All, Can someone post something about a project that you are modeling? I have been decaling O Scale hopper cars this week, so I can't talk about that much. It's cool that you guys are juiced about the new Wiki thing. **************Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.
