Kadee questions

Gene, I seem to remember a Kadee truck assembly article were the author used a bit of CA glue to hold one end of a truck spring in place; perhaps same solution for the knuckle sprung...

I run a piece of sewing thread through the spring to keep it from flying away while installing it. Once the spring is in place I can pull the thread out -- and haven't lost the spring.

Once installed, (or before they get lost) the tiniest dab of plain old Duco cement will keep the knuckle spring in place.

I always check the Kadee website or the Walther's book for the Kadee "what-fits-what" list. The listed coupler usually fits better than the standard #5 on locomotives. I like the plastic shank couplers on hot chassis locomotives to avoid short circuits when double heading them back-to-back.

I have used #5s on all Proto engines. Not sure about the 'eg b12'?
