Any tips on how to apply SHS KD style couplers to AM freights?
- Earl Henry, Jr."
===============
Yes, sort of. I use HO #5 Kadees on my AM cars. Drill and tap for 2-56 screw
right through the hole provided for the AM dummy coupler box. Then attach the
#5 box with a 2-56 screw. If the screw doesn't hold, use a 2-56 nut on top of
the floor where the screw pokes through. And whether or not you use a nut,
flow a drop of super glue into the mating surfaces (coupler box to floor) to
prevent the box from rotating around the screw.
The #5 couplers mate with #802/803/808 couplers without any difficulty.
