<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Hi Tim
Doug has left a link half way down the page with pics. He has used Kadee No 18's and turned the NEM pockets upside down so that they are not too high.
I have also started converting my stock to kadee's and am finding it difficult with all the different height NEM pockets Bachmann do. But I am getting on with it and have converted quite a few wagons using different methods.
I wil have to create a list on which wagons and Kadee's I used, I have converted over 50 now but am stuck on a Bachmann HHA bogie hopper wagon.
Regards Baz
Hi Baz,
Sorry (a) I have asked that question before (
I didn't read the thread well enough (Doh)
Yep, in lieu of RTR suppliers getting their NEM pockets at a standard height what would be really useful is for kadee to produce some offset shanks with NEM fittings. I have written and asked, and even considered funding myself as a commercial proposition!
In the meantime if you have any record of what you have fitted to what and how, please send as I am trying to keep/publish a list -
I wrote the resources guide on Kadee fitting in the resources section of this site - but the list needs a serious expansion / update.
Ta
Tim
