N Passenger trucks/MTL couplers for ConCor

Yes, they are the ones. I've used them many times (particularly the other black versions). There isn't much other choice for N-scale passenger trucks.

Yes, the 4-wheel MT Trucks will work for you.

Personally, I actually like the Con-Cor trucks better! They IMO, have better details. MT trucks have almose no relief cast into the sideframes.

I convert the Con-Cor trucks to MT couplers (1023/1025) by cutting off the original Rapido coupler and part of the mount and attaching the MT coupler using piece of

0.020" brass strip and some 00-90 screws. That way I can make them close couple by controlling the coupler-to-bolster distance.

No, Con-Cor cars aren't quite up to Kato's standards. For pass. cars, Kato rules the N scale world (just like MT is the "Cadillac of N scale" for freight cars)!

Just the other day, I was drooling over friend's Kato California Zephyr set. Sweet!

I have the full Kato Superliner set - that is also a gorgeous item!

Only bad thing about Kato cars is their couplers - they uncouple quite frequently, even on smooth trackwork (where MT coupler equipped cars do just fiine).

I'll have to talk to Eric Smith from MT - maybe I can talk him into making a retrofit couplers for those Kato cars. :-)
