Re: Kadee Scale Coupler Operational Reliablity
Tony, you can use a piece of strip styrene of whatever thickness

you desire to correct droop when the coupler droops within the pocket. You glue the strip (i.e. shim) at the open edge of the pocket, so the shank of the coupler is lifted upwards. A little experiment will show how much shim you need. Note this is only for coupler droop -- if the pocket is too low, then you need another solution. Obviously you glue below the coupler -- I've never seen a Kadee coupler droop upwards. (Pocket tilt is a different problem.) Tim O'Connor

Brian, I assume you are making the .005 shims. Can you describe them? ...material used, how you make them, do they go above or below the coupler?
