Would like to know which length of body mount coupler they use on their 6 wheels truck passenger cars ?

Would like to know which length of body mount coupler they use on their 6 wheels truck passenger cars ?

1015/1016 depending on the car... for example the diner uses a 1016, the Mail baggage, 12-1, 10-1-2, paired window coach & baggage all use 1015's

the RPO appears to be an exception using a 1023 style coupler.

I don't have any other body styles to confirm what they use...

Not that I'm aware of... Its a case of knowing the shape of the coupler boxes. (or spending too much time looking at couplers  ) a 1016 box is stretched compared to the 1015 to accommodate the longer shank... and the 1023 is clearly different...

That being said a 1015 will fit on the Diner if your curves are broad enough... as for true scale I haven't had an opportunity to experiment yet, I believe there were suggestions in one of the two threads.

I am building a Pullman car . It's the Dover Harbor  that I had the great privilege to ride last spring .
It's a 3D print and was wondering what to use to be able to couple with my other cars .
I will not go for the true scale as they are not compatible.
Thanks for your help !!!

Hi
I have on hand and tried a 1015-1 and it's too low .
Is that the difference with a regular 1015 ?

No, the -1 just means that it is factory assembled vs a kit.

Ok thanks .
Which one would be like reversed to have the coupler higher than the box ?

[trainforfun]

I think I need #2004 to have it higher.
 is that right with you guys ?
