How I do a KaDee

How I do a KaDee #508 coupler conversion
Thank you to Northern Ohio Railroad Action ( Jake )
for suggesting making a video about this.

I don't have the IHC cars anymore because of the horn hook couplers, I didn't know Kadee made a conversion kit for them. Thank you for the how to video......now we know how to handle the conversion.

@@grandparails8858 you're welcome

[@johnbanicki7232]

Great video! And the timing is fantastic. I have some of the IHC passenger cars that I need to convert to kadee's. Have not decided if I want to do this conversion or try to body mount the couplers. Thanks for the video.

[@grandparails8858]

I was thinking body mount but went this way instead.

[@stevechilders2425]

Thanks JD! You make it look easy

[@grandparails8858]

Thank you Steve! After doing 7 of them it gets easier.

[@ModelTrainOutsider]

Wow, JD... that is a lot of detailing work to change the couplings. Better you than me, I'm afraid! lol

[@grandparails8858]

Thank you Anthony! After the first one turned out okay I knew I could finish them.

@@grandparails8858 I was wondering if you saw that video.

[@dundasjunctionmodelr.r-jam8267]

JD cool video , I have about 12 ConCor passenger cars to convert

[@grandparails8858]

Thank you James. I wish I had a power screwdriver/drill when I did these my thumbs were killing me.

[@BoxcarJerry]

Excellent video JD thanks for making it . Wonder if you can get the list separately .

[@grandparails8858]

Thank you Jerry! Not sure, maybe you can download it from their site.

[@KerleyExpress]

[@grandparails8858]

Thank you Dwight!

[@thomasgrassi8817]

GP I use a pair of tweasters for the small screws those #2 56 screws are tiny

[@grandparails8858]

I have to try to make myself use more of my tools for small things.
