Description
The USA Trains modern tank car includes a body mount adapter for mounting a standard #907 type Kadee coupler.
This solution allows body mounting a #907 which is a narrower box that is a bit more prototypical and allows the trucks to swivel more to negotiate tighter radius curves.
NOTE: the USA Trains screws supplied with their spacer are M1.8 .2 pitch 5mm length. These can be hard to find. I've found m1.7 .2 pitch screws can be used as well.
