This kit is specifically designed to convert larger-scale locomotives to the Kadee Magne-Matic coupling system. It is a specialized set that includes two different types of coupler assemblies to accommodate the unique configurations of specific narrow-gauge models.
Modified Coupler with Mounting Bracket: For specific body-mount or pilot installations.
Large Offset Coupler with Truck-Mount Gearbox: Designed to attach directly to the wheel assembly (truck) for better tracking on tight curves.
Hardware: Includes centering springs (stainless steel for outdoor use), gearboxes, lids, and necessary mounting screws (#2 and 1-72 sizes).
Key Features
Prototypical Operation: Allows for automatic coupling and "delayed" uncoupling using track magnets.
Weather Resistance: All included springs are made of stainless steel to prevent rust during outdoor "garden railway" use.
Compatibility: Ensures these specific LGB locomotives can connect seamlessly with other rolling stock equipped with Kadee or compatible knuckle couplers.
