Hi Ladies and Gentlemen..

I have quite a bit of N scale Backmann rolling stock that has served me well, but does not get used that much these days due to being fitted with rapido couplers..

I would like to convert them over to Knuckle couplers, and came accross these couplers "Bachmann N #42533 Dummy Knuckle Coupler and Truck Assembly without wheels", and wondered if they would be a suitable replacement..

Much of the rolling stock I want to convert is #73372 40' Quad Hoppers, #73490 40' Single Dome tank car and #73659 40' Gondolas...

A recent purchase, #73493 40' Single Dome Tank Car Tagolene came with Knuckle Couplers already fitted.. ARE THE #42533 Dummy Knuckle Trucks THE SAME AS THE ONES THAT WOULD BE FACTORY FITTED TO THE #73493 TANK CAR..??

Mark..

PS.. Sorry, didnt mean to "SHOUT" by typing in capitals, I just wanted my question(s) to stand out.. By getting an accurate answer to my second question means that I can answer my first question myself by trial fitting my Bachmann Knuckle coupling trucks to my other rolling stock..

PPS..Ringing customer service is not an option for me, I'm in Australia.. LOL.
