WJP posted:Would anyone know if the 3-rail diesels offered by 3rd Rail would be Kadee compatible or have mounting pads for the Kadees? According to the 3rd Rail website they will have fixed pilots but I assume the 3-rail locos will have the large tin plate couplers. Thanks.
Any of the Sunset/3rd Rail diesel models for 3-Rail will come with the "claw couplers", however they will have fixed pilots and full length handrails. The latest SD7, SD9 models come with a pilot inset so that, once the "claw electrical-coupler" is removed, then Kadee O Scale couplers can be easily installed. I'm sure the future SD40-2 models will be the same design.
