Reply to "Atlas CZ cars coupled distance (Photos added)"

Gents,

First photo: The car on the right has the Kadee. The only 2mm screws that I had which were long enough for now were 16mm in length, I'll try 12's or 14's when they show up next week. All that I need to finish is the nuts and lock washers. The holes in the floor while being well placed are too big to tap a 2mm screw. The next photo shows Atlas coupler on left vs. Kadee on the right two. Last two photos show spacing difference with Atlas OEM vs. Kadee mod. Not sure what minimum radius will be now but I suspect 60" won't be a problem as the diaphragms easily compress a little. This mod didn't require a lot of work and the .400 closer spacing is far more pleasing to my eye. I wouldn't want to bring the spacing any closer as it would probably result in the diaphragms coming in contact more often and while they look good they are fragile.
