Re: New Standards for Freight Cars Models

When I was at Kato I was tasked with providing the dimensions for a coupler pocket that would work with a Kadee #5.
The NMRA "Standard" was designed for the Baker, Devoe and Mantua couplers. Now wasn't THAT useful!!!! Charlie Vlk Yes, I have seen those pockets before. The problem is that Kadee's invention made the standard obsolete. Now that Kadee is the 'standard', the NMRA could update that RP! >There is also an RP for a "Universal Coupler Pocket" which is 50 years old! >http://www.nmra.org/standards/sandrp/rp22.html >Any manufacturer actually follow either of them? >Pieter Roos . |
