Hot Water posted:RadCam posted:Mike G. your post brings up something I was going to ask about, and that is if Kadee's could be used on passenger cars. Is it possible to chassis mount Kadee's on passenger cars, or does that bring the cars to close together?

For me, that was the whole idea, i.e. "bring the cars close together", which was the beauty of body mounted Kadee couplers. But,,,,,,,,we had curves bigger than 072 and no "S" curve switching movements for those 21" scale length passenger cars.
Same for me. I would like to bring the cars closer, but I understand that there has to be some compromises. My current track plan has minimum O72, and no S curves that the passenger cars would encounter, so hopefully I can get away with chassis mounting them.
Jeff, That is exactly what I would like see on my passenger cars. So how wide are your curves? I'm running 70' and 80' heavyweights a mix of GGD, and MTH so between 18 and 21 inches.
Mike, I'm going to do my freight cars anyway, so I think I will experiment and try chassis mounting on at least two passenger cars and see if it will work for me.
