Please help with Micro Train coupler conversions

Hi, I am still fairly new to the hobby and need some help with getting the correct micro train coupler conversions.

I have a Con Cor Bay Window Caboose (1251-A Santa Fe) and a Life Like 0-6-0 Steam Loco (7781 AT & SF).

The guy in the shop I bought these from said I needed conversion kit 1114 to convert the loco.

However, looking at the tables on the Micro Trains web site I am not sure this is the case.

Please can someone let me know if this is the correct conversion kit, and if not which one I need for the loco and also which one I need for the Caboose.

Thanks very much

Carl, I'd suggest going to the Micro-Trains web site...someone did say that they had all the conversions listed there. Perhaps the shop personnel made a little mistake, or perhaps the conversion set was changed and there is an update.

Erik,

Thanks very much for this. (so why did the guy in the shop sell me 1114 I wonder?)
