Product Description
Body-mounted magnetic coupler adapter for the Atlas N scale 11,000 gallon tankcar. Enough to equip four cars. Requires Micro-Trains 1015 coupler components and coupler box lid, AccuMate 23015 coupler components and coupler box lid, McHenry coupler components and coupler box lid, or Broadway Limited coupler components and coupler box lid. Also requires the coupler pockets to be removed from the stock trucks and for the raised boss on the truck bolsters to be removed, or the addition Atlas Barber S-2 50-ton trucks, Atlas ex-BLMA ASF A-3 70-ton trucks, or Atlas ex-BLMA ASF Ride Control 70-ton trucks if the bolsters are left unmodified, as this coupler pocket adapter allows the model to be lowered to a prototypical ride height. One #00-90 flathead screw required to mount the coupler box lid, and one #00-90 round head screw required to mount the adapter to the model. A hole must be drilled and tapped in the bottom of the tank at each end to mount the adapter. Press-fit the adapter in place as a guide to drill the holes in the tank body. Paint the adapter prior to installation. Burnish the inside of the coupler box with graphite before assembly.
