If anyone has upgraded to Kadees and have these in their spare parts collection or know what might be a suitable replacement please let me know ASAP as I have 2 cars that have broken knuckles. It looks like the couplers are about 1&1/16" long and are slotted to accept the sprung plunger actuator. I would like to add two more cars to the consist on my clubs layout which has a show in two weeks.

How long are they? I may have parts you could use.
Hi Mike,
They are about 1&1/16" long and are slotted to accept the sprung plunger actuator.
mike g. posted:Here is what I have. and sorry to say I only have one. Dont know if it would work or not.
Thank you for the reply Mike. The casting of the knuckle looks slightly different. How long is it from the knuckle to the top and bottom of the actuator slots?
Hi Chas, I have no idea what a actuator slot is. But from the front edge of the mounting plate it is 2 -1/16"
I believe this is the correct length:
I have them if you still need them.
These came off either the Weaver N&W cars or the Pullman-Bradley cars.
