Atlas articulated autorack couplers

72blackbirdOGR Forum Member

I run both 2 and 3-rail cars on my layout together- I want to convert the atlas couplers on my 2-rail autoracks to Kadees, so they will couple to the 3-rail Atlas autorack I have. Has anyone else ever done this to their Atlas 2-rail cars? If so, what no. Kadee did you use for the autoracks?

Thanks,

Geno

Basically, yes. I converted my three rail cars to Kadees, using I think 805s, but for sure using regular (not short) shank couplers from the 800 series. They handle 072 curves fine coupled together or to other Kadee equipped rolling stock. How they would work with regular three rail couplers I don’t know.
