Product details

Convert suitable AHM/Rivarossi six-wheel passenger-car trucks to Kadee coupling with the 505 conversion kit. Its shorter bolster arrangement also suits certain four-wheel applications where the truck is mounted unusually close to the car end.

Features and package contents

  • One pair of conversion bolsters.
  • Includes one pair of No. 5 couplers, draft gearboxes, No. 634 centering springs, screws and instructions.
  • Shorter bolster configuration; also specified for the relevant 72-foot Con-Cor cars with end-positioned four-wheel trucks.

Compatibility and installation

Assembly and fitting are required. Confirm the exact truck and car against the conversion instructions; wheel count alone does not determine fit. The 72-foot Con-Cor exception uses No. 505, and some six-wheel trucks have had their center axles removed. Use suitable nonmagnetic trucks and wheels; Kadee specifies No. 521 or 522 replacement wheels where appropriate. Check clearance, coupler height and operation through your curves. Cars, complete trucks and wheelsets are not included.

Small hobby parts; intended for modelers ages 14 and older. Manufacturer warning: cancer and reproductive harm.

Condition & collecting

Match the listed scale and track gauge to your layout. For locomotives, check the power system, decoder and sound details; DCC ready does not mean a decoder is installed. For rolling stock, check couplers, clearance and the manufacturer's minimum-radius requirement where provided.

Shipping & returns

Shipping, taxes and any applicable discounts are calculated at checkout.
