Title: Consolidation Coupler Height
Post by: Sunnyfield on April 01, 2009, 03:19:25 PM
The new Spectrum 1:20.3 rolling stock comes with a set  of couplers to lower the coupler height to the older coupler height. My Bachmann Center Cab Diesel had couplers that could be reversed for either height.
What does coupler height does the 1:20.3 Consolidation use?

The Consolidation uses the lower set of couplers (Truck mounted height).

Accucraft can be mounted at the correct height, as can Kadee 779 for both ends, 831 on the rear truck.

  Without any modifications other than exchanging couplers, I used the new Bachmann straight coupler and the height was perfect for 1:20.3 rolling stock. The coupler that comes with the engine is body mounted already and uses a variation of the "adaptor coupler" to lower the coupler height to that of truck mounted couplers.
