Hi guys
can anyone help point me in the direction of how do I go about changing Lima couplers to kadee’s? ( PROB #5?)
Lima have the couplers attached to the whole wheel truck so can I just cut it off and body mount the kadee ?
I cant seem to find any info or vids for this project so, i’m going for all the wise mens knowledge here
hope someone can help!
Yeah, just cut off the truck mounted boxes and body mount the Kadees. A fairly common swap in the hobby. Get a height gauge and make sure your couplers match height, shimming if necessary. Personally, I use the Kadee boxes when doing a conversion.

Yep, the Kadee conversion kits are the right way to go.

Well, you don’t say what scale Lima product you have, so assuming HO here is Kadee’s conversion information –
