This series is to help answer the many questions about Kadee® products and to provide “Helpful Hints” to modelers using our products. Sam the Answer Man will only be available after 1:00 p.m. PST Mon-Thu to answer your Kadee® related questions.

Sam the Answer Man: #116 August 2016 “NMRA SHOW & FREQUENT QUESTIONS”We attended the NMRA National Train Show July 8-10 in Indianapolis, IN. As far as we are concerned it wasn’t as good as it could have been. We noted the lack of local

advertising and other promotional possibilities. For us Friday was the best attended day rather than Saturday. Sunday was even slower than most other Sundays. Even though the building was really nice it was still a downtown venue where parking is either limited or expensive. The host Hotel I’m sure was very nice too but expensive and compared to outlying hotels it just wasn’t worth it. We ship and move in our own booth materials so we don’t have to pay the ridiculous fees they charge for moving material from the dock to our booth. Most vendors we know are getting fed up with the National NMRA for continually having expensive events with too many limitations. Perhaps they have their reasons but they better start listening to the major vendors or soon they won’t have many attending their train shows. Another issue is their opening hours ending at 6 PM on Friday and Saturday and 5 PM on Sunday. All three days it was simply dead from 4 PM onward and worse on Sunday. The National NMRA should send out a questionnaire to the vendors for their direct input. We know scheduling major event centers has to be done years in advance but it’s time to look at changing their way of doing things, at least in my perspective. Now back to some model railroading issues. We constantly receive questions about what many may consider model railroading common knowledge. The following is

some basic modeling information that we are asked about quite often and for some it might be redundant but for others very important and informative. Were often asked what size of screws are used to mount HO scale couplers and trucks? Most HO scale draft gear boxes have a center hole designed for a #2 screw and

the most common screw is a 2-56 machine screw (2-56 means a #2 screw with 56 threads per inch) and most often a 1/4” length is just fine and a 3/8” length if needed. The #5 coupler box (sold separately as #232) has two side holes along with the center hole. These side holes are designed for a #0 size of screw like the common 0-80 machine screw or 0-48 self tapping screw. Please note we do not recommend using glue to attach coupler boxes, glue is only used if there is no other way to mount the box. To attach trucks is much the same in using 1/4” or 3/8” #2 screws. Screw selection is dependent on how the original trucks were attached and the requirement of the

aftermarket trucks you are attaching. Most aftermarket trucks are designed to use a #2 size of screw. Our trucks require a flat surface which may require you to remove any post or raised boss the original trucks fit over. Large holes made for press in pins or split pins will have to be filled in and made to accept a smaller screw. There are many different ways to fill in the larger holes and the size limits of this article won’t allow me to cover them this month. Most often when you are using machine screws you will need to drill and tap the hole with an appropriate thread size tap. In some plastics you can sometimes carefully

use the machine as a self tapping screw but it’s best to tap the hole. Do not try and use a self tapping screw in metal unless it’s a sheet metal screw going through thin sheet metal. Self tapping screws have a wider thread pattern with a different thread pitch. I hope all of this helps somebody, enjoy yourself and happy modeling.
