I just checked their conversion chart and they don't have it listed.I don't have any so I'm not really going to be much help.Come to think of it I didn't see my B-30 listed either but I used 2004s for them.

I have one on my desk which appears to have Z couplers installed. They appear to be straight shank or 1015 type. A 2004 is an offset shank coupler. Bob.

Which is why I ended up using them.The 1015s were to low but the 2004s worked great.I think I will probably switch over to the 905s after I get a few dozen other projects done.

Compare the coupler pocket to a Micro trains guage (or a truck mounted coupler)

If the top of the coupler lines up use a 1015 if the coupler is too high use a 2004...

You might need to carve away an existing coupler box to mount it... This was the case on the 44tonner
