Dave, others,
I've used 802's for the greater gathering range. Could you or someone
comment on whether using the smaller knuckle springs to reduce yo-yoing back
and forth has any effect on backing moves or the gathering range?
Thanks,
George Courtney
The problem with that is most model railroads have curves much sharper than
prototype so they need a wider draft gear box for coupler side swing.Otherwise
the pivot pin has to be moved up too far to the front and backing up qualities
deteriorate.The reason Kadee's slide is to allow sharper curves and to maintain
the centered position when backing up. The design gives a variable pivot
effect, forward for sharp curves and back on the stop when pushing long cuts of
cars....DaveBranum
