AHM/Rivarossi {six axle truck} coupler retro-fit .....to Kadee ?

What kadee couplers , fit the six axle rivarossi trucks ? Kinda need to find out soon ,can’t stand those horn hook couplers. I think its the long shank couplers ,but not really sure. Can it be done using Kadees ?

Kaydee has a 505 coupler for the Rivarossi 6 wheeled truck.

Since Rivarossi’s wheels and truck are their worst problem,. may I suggest replacing the whole truck with IHC’s metal one (try Walthers or Caboose Hobblies) and Kaddee’s #36 body mount for superior results.

If you have 22"r. curves, I’d just get a set of McHenry long shank couplers.

BUCKEYE TRUCKS?

What do you have - A TENDER? If so, learn to describe what you’re doing.

  1. Rivarossi (model #) engine with a (describe) Tender.
  2. A Rivarossi (smooth side - Corregated - Heavyweight) Passenger car.

Hi Don,

A rivarossi six axle heavy duty flat car. The ones that use to have the UMEX caterpillar drag pan fixed to it.
